Upgraded from a Rossi Jibsaw (my first board). I wanted something that could carve harder with more camber and stiffness. Definitely took some getting used to but I'm glad I kept at it. I rode it on the east coast as well as on a trip out west this week where it was very chopped up - soft pack, dust on crust, ice. It does pretty well in it all. Ice hold could be a little better if they had some minor edge tech but the camber works well enough to hold you. Just keep your edges sharp.
I love the rocker profile I think they really have something solid here: not as twitchy and catchy as full traditional camber and not as washy as my old camrock board. It has that wide edge hold of camber but that little rocker really lets you ride it playfully if you explicitly want to. I like the stiffness of this board - its definitely on the stiff side but it's no where close to a death plank. The dual rods in the tail are nice, you can sit on the back foot in a carve and really drive it - this tail will hold. And if you're really feelin good, you can pop off the tail at the end off a turn and catch some air.
I wouldn't get it as a beginner board because you do kind of need to know what you're doing but if you're an intermediate to advanced rider I think its pretty solid. I can tell the board has a ton of energy and aggression to offer - I'm actively working to reel it in. Every day I ride this board I feel a little more adrenaline kick in and the urge to let loose on side hits and chop. Good stuff.
ps: send stickers next time pls
