Bought this board to use on the slopes of canada, i'd been using standard boards over here in europe befor and didn't know the difference. When i got on to this board it felt like i was on a piece of rubber in comparrison.

I couldn't belive the difference between the standard boards and a this one, the feel is amazing and it totally changes the experience. you can feel every bump and this changed my style so much and i carn't belive how much i improved using this board.

I had Burton Mission bindings and some Soloman boots and this seemed to be a excellent combi for me. The only problem or niggle i had with this board it that the top surface is so easy to scratch. I had a scag skier ride over the edge of my board and got some real scratches in there.

The base of the board is excellent however in my opinion it takes a lot of work to keep the surface in good condition. Not really a long term board i don't think. The edges are good and sharp and follow round to the tips. The construction is excellent, i did get a few chips in the board but it really has been bounced about all over the place.

At the end of the day i love this board simply of the quality and the amazing feel you get through it. The ability to be able to feel and judge the powder just makes this a excellent aid to inproving and taking the next step to becoming a pro.

Bought the board for around £400 and it's earned its money and stil going, carn't wait to get back out ther again and get some more value from this kit.
