Strength:

this thing will take a beating and barely get a scratch on it. i've banged into so many rocks and crap, and i can't even spot the chips on the edges.

Weakness:

the base of the board is apparently made of a different material compared to some other boards. my base is black, and after waxing, and even after riding it 10 times i still see a lot of white stuff on the bottom. the base isn't shiny, but is that a bad thing?

the best board for anyone who's a beginner to an intermediate rider. it's light, flexible, and made of the strongest stuff i've seen in a while.

looks good, feels good, rides good

Weakness:

none so far, bottom could have better graphics, nose chipped after some crashes

Im a beginner, but this board felt good and took a good beating...not bad for the price i paid...definitely worth it instead of renting a cheap rental for 5 days.

Strength:

Very durable and light-weight. Excellent price!

Weakness:

think I need something a bit stiffer.

Nice all-around board. Not too stiff and actually has some decent flex if your looking for moguls. Feels light, but what do I know? Took this out in the BackCountry of Whistler (Heli-boarding) and felt great (I have 160)! Just make sure you set your bindings towards the rear for deep pow.

This board is awesome! Not only is it easy to learn on, it is forgiving and nicely flexible. I would recommend this board to anyone buying a snowboard for the first time. It is a great price for a totally awesome board. Props to you, Salomon!

Strength:

Light, looks cute, easy to turn, hard for you to cant when it's flat, gets going quite fast

Weakness:

none so far, I've only used the board a few times

Very good board. Was far better thn I had expected, especially for the price( 159 Euros with bindings). It's light to carry and looks really pretty on the snow when you're riding ( I have the 150).

Awesome board (I have the 160). Was head and shoulders above the rental I tried first time. The scoop on this board before I bought it was that it was very forgiving and durable, and I found out myself that they were right.
