Price Paid:  $800.00 at Ellis Brigham Milton

Summary:
Bought a 167 wide with Agency Implant large bindings and Vans Hi-Standard boots US13 because the rest of you are short, skinny and have small feet. Just joking, I'm 1.81m tall, with UK13 EE/EEE feet and weigh 95kg (Lean mean fighting machine). Seems like quite a good board so far. Quite easy to spin despite looking HUGE the first time I strapped it on. Fit's my feet very well with minimal overhang in regular 0/15 degree set up and using the normal binding points on the board. Ok riding both regular or switch and no noticeable speed wobble yet. Quite snappy and stiff and a stable tail press/nose press is quite easy even for a newby. I got a bad deal on the price. Wait till the end of season sales before you buy.

Summary:
I'm reviewing the 2002-03 High Beam. I got this board last season as a beginner, and it rocks! Turns easy, lightweight, easy edge to edge. This board has taken me from bunny runs to black runs, groomers, moguls and fresh powder. As I've progressed, I've found that it is a little sketchy at high speeds, and sinks a bit in deep pow, but that could be that I need a longer board (i ride a 53).

Reviewed by: Derrick ,  Intermediate , from Atlanta, Georgia

Price Paid:  $299.00 at Active Board Shop

Summary:
Actually it's the 02/03 GNU Carbon High Beams I've reviewing. Solid construction, light weight, decent flex, wood core ends about 1.5 inches from the nose and tail of the board, aggressive sidecut and decent looking graphics. Laminated top sheets for awesome look and protection. Conventional 4 holes bindings (unlike the funky Burton's 3 holes). This board comes in a bunch of sizes so you can find one that would fit you.

Reviewed by: myghtymistert ,  Advanced , from Montebello, CA

Price Paid:  $189.00 at Sport Chalet

Summary:
This board is sick and probably the best that i've had so far. The price that i got it for is very reasonable. Great all around board for all riders, regardless of skill level. If you're tight on money and you're looking for a quality board, this is it. Get it with Gnu G3 bindings, and you'll have one sick ride.
