Summary:
I have had this board for 3 years now and it handles just the same as if I just bought it. I had a chance to test out numerous boards all in the same day and I didn't care if it was Saloman, Burton, Rossi, K2, I just wanted the board that felt the best for my style of riding. This was the one. I just hope I can find a board similar to this one when I need to purchase again.

Strengths:
stiff
carves seamlessly
snap from one turn to the next

Weaknesses:
doesn't like the moguls

Summary:
My Levitation is the best speed carving board I've ever ridden - I've been to several demo days and compared to other new boards, the Levi is always the fastest, smoothest ride. It always feels solid dropping in on the steeps, too.

Strengths:
SWEET corduroy carver. Dual-tech synthetic core has held up to hard riding, hasn't lost a bit of it's FINE dampening or 'snap' out of turns. Looking forward to several more years of riding. Nice powder ride, too. Plus, it has the mad cool surfboard graphics.

Weaknesses:
Too stiff for certain conditions. Just OK through moguls, and not a good park, pipe or trick board. Lighter riders may find it too stiff, even in smaller sizes. (I'm 6'0" weigh 145)

Summary:
I'm a big guy at 6'3" and bought a 171. I was expecting it to be a bit of a brute to control..but it was crisp and easy. Very responsive especially with the SIS bindings. Had a good experience with a K2 Fatbob but this is better! I'm a size 13 and had a blast...get this board!

Strengths:
Snappy turns.
Great Edge Control.
What ice?

Weaknesses:
None
