Awesome board! Super fun to ride, probably my new daily.
Its comfortable, damp, still responsive and goes fast without getting unstable for a long time. It has a lot of reserve so you can really challenge it and it will also challenge you, if you try to test its limits.
Definitely on the stiffer side, carves better than expected, tho its not made for super fast and wide turns. If you push it really hard that way, it will wash out at some point.
Not the easiest to butter, but you can do it. Gotta hit the right spot, but when you do, its real nice.
Where it really shines is its pop tho, its crazy good. If you load it up properly, you have a real spring under your feet and it launches you to the moon. If you want to hit the big jumps or make small ones big, this is the board to do it with.
Havent tried it in deep snow yet.
Bottom line, its a real versatile board, that you can and have to push hard to get the most out of it, but its always fun, no matter, what you throw at it.
I'm 178cm, 80kg, size 28 mondo and ride 155w.
I've been looking for a long time for a board that fits my style, and this board does it:
- very snappy and easy to ollie/pop for ground tricks (180s, 360s, 540s, etc)
- decent to butter with (for presses)
- great at carving
- somewhat forgiving, so it's less punishing for ground tricks
- stable at speed so I can still blast around the mountain
- easy torsional flex for easy control, especially on steep terrain
This is just such a fun and snappy board that is still very easy and forgiving. I can do all the ground tricks I want without it being catchy. The pop is crazy it makes ollie tricks soo easy to do. The longitudinal flex is medium, while the torsional flex is medium soft, this makes the board stable at speed but still very easy to maneuver.
I don't think this is a stiff board at all, it sits between a Burton custom and a Solomon Assassin in terms of stiffness.
There is nothing else to say but a true masterpiece of a board. Truly, living up to its expectations.
I originally purchased this board (161w) to fill the freestyle slot in my quiver. However, as touched on in a couple reviews this board is a stellar mid/low speed carver. This board can freestyle AND lay trenches which makes for a super fun and versatile ride. Context: I ride this in place of a Pantera when I want more play and less charge while maintaining the ability to carve. Buy this board.
Carves well at high speeds, super poppy
I can take my agent everywhere with no worries. The way the nose and tail have the double kicker combined with hot rod this board is fast, responsive and poppy. Also with the flax plate under foot the fatty to flatty landings aren't so bad on the knees.
It's a super fun and powerful board.
I'm super happy with it
This board is insane! It wasn’t that long ago that you had to sacrifice pressability for a board that was stable at high speeds or could handle bigger jumps. Somehow, this board just does it all. You can bomb a groomer, drag knuckles and feel super stable on edge, even through some chunder. Stiff enough to stomp large jumps and lay trench at speed. And somehow, you can still butter and press like you’re on the softest of park boards (must be that double kick tech!). And the pop! Load up those hot rods and it just launches your ollie. Haven’t rode pow on it yet, but I’m sure with a set back stance it will crush. Can’t recommend this board enough for an all mountain and park destroyer.

This board is dope, the build quality is solid and it rides like a dream!
Definitely on the stiffer side, but was aware of that before i got it. The board is perfect for the slightly bigger freestyle features, it locks in very well, even at higher speed
