OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 5
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Love the simple all-black graphics.
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Stance options
OVERALL COMMENTS: This board looks and feels awesome, but wasn’t the right board for me. It’s a bit too big for what I was riding (right trees, deep snow). I can see it being a good big mtn board. Biggest issue was that I couldn’t set the stance far enough back or get it narrow enough for my taste. I Had bindings on the last set of inserts both front and back and the stance was still a bit too wide to be able to handle it well. Seems like a killer board. Would be stoked on a 158.
BOARD STYLE: FREERIDE BOARD
CONDITIONS TESTED IN: HARDPACK POWDER
RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7: 6

ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS: Very rad, Subtle shape. Classy.
RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7: 5
FLEX COMMENT: JUST RIGHT
ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT: Didn’t get a great sense of the flex. Definitely wasn’t too stiff, but because my stands was too wide (i.e. im an idiot) that’s all I could focus on
RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7: 5
STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD
ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: Seemed to be a stable as snowboard can be when you’re snowboarding on snow with it.
RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7: 4
COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: OK
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: Too much snow to really tell. I blame Mother Nature.
RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7: 5
COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: OK
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: For a board called the Powder Slayer, it seems like more of an all Mtn board. That said, it did well in the deeps
RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7: 7
GRAPHICS COMMENT: AESTHETIC AND INSPIRING
ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: I like my graphics like I like my coffee- black.
