OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Ripped through everything, not just pow. Stable, lively, and very predictable.
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It’s more than just a Pow Slayer, so the name may be misleading 🙂
OVERALL COMMENTS: This thing rips. Not just a powder board. I would ride this thing as a daily driver for sure. Snappy, stable, predicatable, and just a solid feeling deck. Real hard to find anything wrong with it.
