Fiss Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride Product Year:
1999 Summary:
I learned to ride on this board. The first one got stolen but bought the same one right away. It holds in all terrains and I loved it in the powder. It doesn't hold very well on icey slopes and it's a bit uncontrollable at high speeds, but that could be me :-). Strengths:
I'd advice this board for beginners. You don't outgrow it too soon. I'm pretty heavy (92 kg) but didn't have any probs in the pow with my 165cm board. It's very quick in the pow.
I hit many rocks with the board, the board got damaged pretty heavy but never beyond repair. Weaknesses:
The color (yellow) is attracktive but I'd prefer some drawing as the plain yellow color soon becomes pretty boring.
The lamination chips off very easily if skiers or boarders get over your board.
This year I discovered the core is damaged: twisted (one corner raised over 2 cm). The board has now been degraded to just wall-decoration. Similar Products Used:

It's very light and not to flexible.

Tahoe Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride Product Year:
2000 Summary:
Been using this board on Dry-slopes only so this review is only for a select few (mostly UK) riders.
Perfect for dry-slope use. A higher end board is wasted on plastic.
Does everything I want it to. Strengths:
Very good Value. I picked mine up 2nd hand and was very pleasantly surprised.
Nice and Stable. Fairly quick base.
Carves nicely. Pops well.
Confidence inspiring.
Good for all levels of rider.
I've been grinning since I bought it! Weaknesses:
Possibly limited on a real mountain for more advanced riders.
(I would ride a Burton Custom or Johan on real hills.)
Long term durability remains to be seen. Similar Products Used:
Burton, Sims, Morrow, Rossi, Joyride

2001 Summary:
If youre learning this is a great board to start with, but as you get better you'll start to hate it Strengths:
Great board to learn on-carves nice and is stable. it is pretty light aswell. Weaknesses:
graphics really suck-there aren't any and the colours look like sick. Also, in icy conditions at high speed it does NOT grip hardly at all. Similar Products Used:
Other rentals, burton fluid.
