Fantastic on swift and level water. very steady. In comparison to others I've paddled, I believe it tracks fairly well. has a neat, precise turn. The glowing evaluations are entirely true. | spray foam insulation

It took a while for me to trust this board and stop hitting the brakes on fast runs, but it hardly ever fails to hold edge, even on the bumpy and cruddy slopes of the NE. This board is very stiff, super fast and definitely requires some skill to ride--beginners beware! Overall, a very solid board. Cleveland Pro Mobile Mechanic

i haven't found any faults yet, even the scratches are cool. cuz chicks dig scars, whether they're on you or the board.

it doesn't seem to be a great park board, but who cares, it's sweet everywhere else

when i saw the board i knew that it was the one for me, i learned to surf while in australia and it said... and i quote " take me home and ride me hard!" it's got such an oldskool feel to it. i've been out of boarding for a bit, but this thing rips!!! i haven't had it in any deep powder yet, but the bit it has been in is so smooth and silky, actually it's like that everywhere i've had it, and the looks i get from everyone else. i know why it's called the woodie.

really flexable and really light

scractches up heaps easy

Owned various boards for over 10 years now and after I demo my friends Arbor Woodie I never went back. Went to my local dealer and got the Woodie 158. This board is the Bomb!!! The first time going down it felt like I was in a sports car. The board handled everything I threw at it, jumps, carving, and some major speed. I didn't only keep up with my skier friends down the slope, found that most of the time they were playing catch up to me.

It has great stability and turning ability. It can be used on all snow surfaces and mountain sizes. Not to mention that it looks Great!

The Hawaiian Koa scratches easily. The large size makes tricks a bit more difficult(not too bad).

The board handles very smoothly. It holds beautifly in a turn, and has wonderful stability. It is the best board I have owned. It is worth spending a more to get a lot more.

Holds edges well and cruises through the powder. Very fast in the truns and responsive as hell.

Topsheet scraches easily but you can repair it if you like.

This board rips dude! I always get checked out at the lift by other riders. Plus the girls love it. I cannot believe how much fun this board is to ride, just strap it on and let go, she will take you were you want to be. Heaven baby!

Weight and flexibility

Ability to let it hang out at high speeds

Board is light and very responsive in powder to crud. A little choopy on ice and at very high speeds. Handles well in parks and pipes.

after a ton of research, picked up the 166 woodie soft- for a big mountain board. usually ride in the 160 to 163 size range, so i was fearing the ride. one hour, i was hooked. the board is responsive, very stable with just the right amount of stiff, enough flex to power the board from edge to edge, and if you like to feel the ride beneath, it is just soft enough... handles like a dream in powder, a rocket on pack (with very little chatter)- even handles spring conditions with ease- took it for a spin in the park too, and as long speed is up, the board is still a fair park ride- for a 166. this board, however, excels at high speeds and big mountain steeps, and anything in your way on the mountain- kickers, rollers, drops, rocks, moose, whatever.- never felt so stable and in control. can''t beat the look of the board either. as an older, long time rider, it was hard to find a good ride with matching graphics- graphics that didn''t look like i was trying to be sixteen, or date themselves in a week- the woodie top sheet looks simple and has old school charm no blood, barbarians, dragons, skulls or techno junk..

topsheet scratches easy, but scratches ad character kiddies. noodles out at slower speeds, wouldn''t recommend for park riding

stable and responsive ride, excellent at high speeds, takes on the mountain w/ ease.p
