Summary:
This is one sick, stiff, fast, mean, ruthless board. This board really kicked my a## the fist time i took it out. I don't think I was quite prepared for the kind of ride that the beast was going to give me. If you like speed, carving turns, and looking pretty cool while doing it, then the Profile is for you. I will warn you, this animal has no quams about humbling you though- catch an edge, and it will THROW you! great design for a freeride board though, just wish it had a little more width to it.

Strengths:
Great build quality, light weight, excellent speed. A nice, solid freeriding platform. Oh yeah, really sweet graphics too!

Weaknesses:
could stand to have a little more pop (I know, its a freeride board, but who doesn't jump on any board they're on?) board could also be wider, not super wide, but i should be able to ride the 156 model without dragging my size 10 boots...RIDE, a little wider, please?
