Great board for the price

By Ranked #35 - Boards February 13, 2013

I've owned this board for two seasons now and it's been very good to me. I started out on this board with beginner/intermediate skills and it was great to learn on. It's fairly light and not once did I feel like I was lugging it around even when I was still young to boarding. It carves really well and has good control and it performs well in powder. I've been able to get really good jumps on this board as well while Freeriding the ungroomed slopes. It's such a good board that I've stuck with it all the way up to my current advanced skill level without feeling as if I'd outgrown it. I will be switching to a Lib Tech Phoenix this season but this board is still an excellent piece of equipment. In fact, it's so sturdy, having taken care of it well, I will be able to sell it easily to another boarder. If you find a great deal on the board, you should definitely take it. It's worth it!
