Been riding for a few seasons on a Burton Custom 164, wanted to give a stiffer board a try. The Naturals is extremely extremely stiff, so much so that I actually found it a bit hard to get it around in the trees and bumps the first day I rode it. But my buddies going with me said I was going 30% faster and carving turn harder than I ever had on my Custom. Overall, I'd say I'm still getting used to riding this stiff a board and the spring conditions aren't where this board is going to show its true colors. The board definitely holds a long carve and charges at high speeds. I find the tail a bit stiff for big ollies. If you're into long carves on groomers and a super stable ride through crud or big mountain, this board is great. But if you're coming off a flexy board, are used to weaving through moguls and trees and jibbing all over the hill, this board can be a learning process.
