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

My Rail 165 has given me 6 seasons of pleasure. It's very fast, being 165cm long, and I like to really work it through turns. I'm predominantly a fast carver, rather than a trickster, so it's been put through its paces in the high-speed carving department, and has come through with flying colours. Although it's only a mid-range board (price and technical aspects), and is not a wood-core, it has performed better than most people expect. It holds it's line well through turns, and is not too heavy when in the air. On the 'cons' side, are top-sheet durability (easily scratched) and it seems to be a little hard to spin in the air. Apart from that, it's served me well, and I've been very happy with it. It's the only board I've ever owned, so I've nothing to compare it with, but I've just bought a 2003 Ride Timeless. I think I've got my money's worth out of the Morrow, and wanted to try something further up the scale and a bit different. Hope it stacks up well against the Morrow. If you're thinking of buying one, although they're pretty old now (in 2003) they're a reliable charger, and worth a few bucks.
