Reviewed by: Mike ,  Intermediate

Price Paid:  $119.00 at Snowboard Jones

Favorite place to ride:
High Up and In Glades

Riding Style:
Groomed/Slalom

Product Year:
2002

Summary:
It's the first board I've bought, it is great, especially because I have big feet.

Strengths:
It's wide and comfortable to ride, especially when you are just cruising and not wanting to throw alot of energy into carving around and going nuts. If you're an intermediate rider and want to have a chill board, go for it.

Weaknesses:
It's a pain when you're in the glades. The width of the board and ungroomed trails makes turning tough, the board is heavy due to its size and add some light snow on top and it gets really heavy. Also the outer shell of the board isn't that strong, it tends to chip alot. But this board is soooooo sweet that it doesn't matter. I suggest Strap Ins if you're going to use this board, better control.

Price Paid:  $200.00

Favorite place to ride:
Blue Mtn.

Riding Style:
Groomed/Slalom

Product Year:
2000

Summary:
I picked this board up cause' it was the right size. I'm 6'5, 300lbs and have sz 14 feet. This board rocks if you like to cruise and/or race down the mountain. No tricks though.

Strengths:
It's big. Real big. It goes fast. It's great carving.

Weaknesses:
If you are headed to the terrain park or the pipe look elsewhere for a board. Spitfire wide is real heavy. You can get some big air with it, but as soon as you try to add a grab or a spin, you'll start to hate the board
