Nothing compares to a Banana on the East Coast

By Ranked #1629 - Boards January 23, 2011

Got this board last season and it's still ripping it up. Here on the East Coast, bulletproof hard-pack is a normal day. The edges on this board can let you ride everywhere. Feels like they are super sharp when you need em to be and not so sharp and grabby when you don't. Has to be the best of both worlds. The rocker camber and twin shape is perfect and let's you ride where you want in any conditions you want. Has to be one of he best boards I've ridden. Used to be a guy that rode both Rome and Burton but after riding his deck for a season now I hate to say both my Rome and Burton are collecting dust. If you want a good flexing twin board that can ride anything from pow to icy days the Skate Banana is the way to go. I only worry about the durability of it because all I do is ride this one deck and it's starting to take a beating between the park and all day all mountain riding. I set it up with a pair of Union Forces and have to say the setup is dead on. Union and Lib-Tech make a great combo thus far.
