Strength:

Great flex...great value...I can see how Barrett wins all the time.

Weakness:

None that I've noticed, but my favorite graphics were from her ELEMENTS series.

I have several different boards, for different conditions, of course. But this board is my ALL MOUNTAIN board. Great in the park, especially for my boardslides and nose presses--Great flex! Loved it in the China bowl after a foot and a half of the good stuff...

Strength:

Flexible, extremely stable on landings, you can push it into turns and force it to hold an edge. Decent float in powder. Super, super lightweight. Narrow enough. Not too girly looking.

Weakness:

SOFT SOFT SOFT. Not good for carving at high speeds.

I ride a 48. My research before buying this board told me it would be great for everything, but after riding it 30+ times, it definitley lacks in some areas. I have a good time on it, I just wish it was a little stiffer. Tends to chatter at high speeds. But it's a fun, flexible board, very stable on landings. To really charge on the Barrett, you're going to need super stiff boots.

Gnu's Barrett Board is great. Very Cute board, a lot of guys noticed it(thats a good thing if ur a girl) Says for intermediate boarders but you can use it if your a beginner. Graphics are cute as well. Not as heavy either.

Strength:

Fun, great response

Weakness:

less stability

This board responds soooo fast, if you are dodging mogels, there is nothing better for ya. the side cut is intense so it is not as stable for a beginning rider but none the less fun to learn on. It has a lot of pop to it and this board makes me feel like i am surfing.
