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

This is my first board having hired a selection last season, and I think it's awesome. It's wide enough for me to ride +15/-5 with UK12 feet and no drag. The sintered base is fast as a very fast thing, and it's torsional stiffness means that it carves really nicely and feels stable at speed. It's still pretty flexy longitudinally though, so I could flex it and spin it as easily as the Libtech or Airwalk Champ that I hired last season. It has capped tips and sandwich construction in the middle; I think this does something clever with the board's stiffness, but another plus point is that when a skiier ran over the nose of my board (while I was strapping in) the capped construction escaped with barely a scratch. I've yet to find something I don't like about this board!
