Full Review: This board is stiff and sturdy, however I was still able to ride it without feeling like it was riding me. It has good pop, and the side cut radius, flex, etc, covered a big range of turning speeds. While some boards perform better in different conditions and speeds, this board seemed to be a really well rounded and consistent charger.
The slightly extended nose and tail should be pretty fun on a pow day, but unfortunately I didn't get to try that part out. I did notice the extended nose gave a little reverberating feedback when I was at top speed on chopped up groomers, but I suspect the benefit in pow will more than outweigh that.
Overall, if you want a board that is meant for hard, fast riding, but doesn't feel like you're riding a 2x6, this board should be a top choice.
