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

This is a fantastic board for those with large feet (mine are size 13). I was riding a 1999-2000 K2 Fatbob but switched at a demo weekend at Whistler last January after riding several other "wide" offerings from Burton and Salomon as well. My experience with the Supercharger (with Burton CFX bindings) includes just over 30 days this past season during an excellent snow season in the NW. I mostly freeride, if one must make labels, with a decent amount of backcountry experience around Mt. Baker and Whistler, but enjoy "in-bounds" riding as well and have found the Supercharger to be a great all around board for those who only want to buy one deck. A great attribute of this board it that despite its length (for my size and powder conditions), it carves extremely well with plenty of pop in turns, and is nimble through the woods. With a flex that is medium to stiff, it likes to be ridden aggressively, but won't punish the cruiser. And it loves powder! Best of all, it didn't noodle out over the course of the season like the Fatbob did. I have friends who ride both the Free plus and Sansalone models and describe many of the same feelings about their boards- confidence inspiring and great overall performers! Option is doing something right in Canada.
