----------///=========( Review )=========\\\----------

Except for rentals this is my first board. She is a blast to ride in deep powder as promised and is comfortable in some conditions. The other highlight to this board is the price, it is a cheap ride to learn on but after a season on the hill I quickly began to exceed the board's capabilities. I found the edges to be marginally effective on ice. The edge often gives way under harder turns or carving on rough terraine. Torsional flex is too stiff to cut a clean edge. As for jumping, the board is really to heavy to play with. If your looking for something cheap to ride during your learning season it is an ok toy but you can easily find something better with a little patience. Next season this board will find itself in a closet collecting dust.
