Description High Performance directional Freeride. Stiff tail, snappy turns. • One of the highest ranked boards on SOL (Snowboarding Online). • Vertically laminated lightweight wood core, tip to tail / edge to ...
Summary: First board I've owned. It was regular 1000$ and I got mine for 600$ during a spring sale. It's due for replacement as I've had it for 5 years.
Strengths: Lightweight, stable at high speeds.
Weaknesses: Durability. Someone said their board lost an edge after almost 3 days of boarding but I've put mine through double black diamond hell since I've had it and only this year did it start to delaminate. A little expoxy and clamps and it's like new.
Similar Products Used: No other boards but I use K2 Yak boots and K2 clicker bindings. They kick ass!

Product Year: 1998
Summary: Good all-round board that performs best on piste. Stability makes it a good first board for the beginner. Not really wide enough for off-piste powder.
Strengths: Holds the edge well, even a speed. Carves nicely, and glides well without catching the edge. Very stable.
Weaknesses: Tendency to sink in powder, but its not a powder board.

Favorite place to ride: Sugar Bowl
Riding Style: All Mountain/ Freeride
Product Year: 1998
Summary: This board has treated to some of my best days on the mountain. it's predictable nature makes it fun anywhere on the mountain (trees, groomies, moderate powder and the park) with DEEP powder being its one weakness.
Strengths: This is great all around board. It handles the groomies,moderate powder and the tree with a great deal of predictability , it's quick edge to edge and holds that edge quite well.
Weaknesses: I wish it was available in a longer length Mine's a 98 board and as a result is a 59. I need a little more length for the deep powder days. Day to day this is my #1.
