An excellent upper-range board. Rather stiff, so it carves really well, and is stable at speed. Very "nippy" and can carve a super tight radius when you "bend" it, if your skill and the snow conditions allow. An amazing ride if you keep on top of it -but start day-dreaming and you might find yourself on the snow!
It's a bit less forgiving than my old board (Oxygen Vibe+), so it's probably not for beginners.
The sintered graphite base is really fast and fairly durable. I've hit a few rocks and mostly it has survived unscathed.
The only negative is the top sheet. I don't know what it is made of, but it is black and shiny and scratches more easily than lacquer paint.
Overall a wonderful Freeride snowboard, and an absolute bargain. Significantly cheaper than anything of equivalent quality, at NZ$950 (a Burton or similar with sintered base is about NZ$1300 and top priced boards like Inca sell for NZ$1500)
If my board were stolen tomorrow, I would definitely buy the same make and model.
