Sickest board I've ever ridden.

I bought last years version of this board and can't wait to ride it again this year. Boarding on the west coast of Canada we get lots of icy days and this board did not lose it's edge once. Charge as hard as you want and this thing just holds. You'll be a better rider with the confidace you gain from always having this board underneath you!

Ridden the CHB's for years now and I gotta say that the base on these are primo. It seems like mervin kicks it up a notch every year constantly innovating (and getting ripped off by other companies) and bringin new shi# to the table. The Carbon High Beams are a great all around board with plenty of pop and a fast as hell base. Magna traction does what its suppose to do, soften up your edges with a file (detune) before you take this bad boy out otherwise its a little too grippy in the turns.

There is not another board on the market that gets you such high quality for the money. This is a sick all mountain board. You can get mad speed on trails and it holds up in the park. I'd say it leans a little more towards a hill bombing board than a park board, but it can be used for both. My one little complaint is that the edges soften up quickly, but thats probably because i beat the hell out of my board and i'm a pretty heavy guy. I recommend this board to anyone beginner-advanced that is on a budget and wants a board that kicks ass. As for the graphics, they arent over the top so you dont look like a tool on the mountain like u can on some burton boards and such. pair it up with some Bent Metal bindings and you have a sick looking board too.

This is my 3rd board, and i cant believe how it has improved my riding, Carving is a doddle and ya know those flat board places where everyone has slowed right down and stepping out, I seem to be passing everyone without unclipping. Maybe I'm just getting better, but the board seems to have given me more and more confidence..Oh! Did i mention how fast ya can go on this thing... Highly recommended...
