I hired this board last season and i was not disappointed!

The Look:
The one i hired and rode for a week was black and has graphics around the stomp pads. The designs of these boards change depending on the size so the one i had may well be different to the one someone of a different size or build will receive. They all however, look sleek and sexy, and you will not be ashamed to put it up against other more expensive boards!

The Park use:
I used this board in the board park twice, both times i was not disappointed! It has an amazing flex and was a joy to ride. It was incredibly responsive and turned when instructed. It was light which meant that although i am small i was able to easily pull off jumps and tricks.

The Mountain use:
This board carved through all kinds of runs ranging from blues to blacks and in every terrain it exceeded my expectations by miles. It is incredibly responsive making it not only an exciting ride but also a safe one. It is light enough to be carried or ridden on the lifts depending on your preferance and the rules at the resorts.

The off-piste use:
Yet again the board exceeded here! It was easy to control when floating over powder and had the hard edge when carving up icier areas. The flex of the board yet again came in handy here and the general build and quality of the board meant i put my total trust into it.

The Verdict:
This is by far the best board i have hired when abroad. The responsivness, flex, build, design and feel of the board meant that i was able to try new things with total confidence and progressed immensely!

Great review. I sometimes try and the one I have was gifted me by one of my friend.

cool review! I know absolutely nothing about snowboarding so I guess you would be the person I'd go to for advice!
