Strength:

This is a very versatile boat - even thogh it has a fair amount of rocker, its length gives it good speed and enough tracking to handle reaaasonably windy open water. Its reputation as a tandom boat, of course, needs no embellishment from me. Bellevue Pro Mobile Mechanic

Strength:

I really can’t speak to that but I’m of the opinion that if you find a ride that fits you like a glove, going with something less suitable to save a few bucks just isn’t worth it. If you have a little patience, I know it’s hard ;), you can always find a deal. I’ve got my LE for $350 (Retail $525). Sunrise local tow truck company

I learned so fast on this board, no one can believe I have only been riding one season. It is stable and forgiving, but responsive at the same time. Buffalo A/C Repair Service

Strength:

Light, Stable at high speed, great and easy to turn, great all around board.

Weakness:

Need a bit more snap.

Great board. Much more stable than my M3 Cap at higher speed. You can handle speed with this one, a whole lot of it. Although it's in the freestyle category, I mainly use this board as a freeride. I use a 160 because of my fatass, but this board fits perfectly, whether it's local at big bear, or it's in the deep powder at tahoe and mammoth.

Strength:

Nothing really

Weakness:

Everything you could think of. I can''t belive I bought a Head board.

This board has way to much flex. I did an eighteen foot landing and my board snapped and I broke my arm. I couldn''t even get my money back.

Strength:

Nice snap, feathery light, good edge controle, clean slider system, ultra smooth base and in different width availlable. So for every bootsize something.

Weakness:

not yet...mabey its a ski manufacturer, but almost every board is made by a few skimanufacturers...so...its your decision

After they stole my FORUM wide series I was in for a new board. The downsides of the forum namely to wide and to heavy combined with the specs of the HEAD made my decision quite easy. The ICON got a good agressive progressive radius, like the Forum. The witdh was better, just 26.1 cm in stead of 26.6 of the Forum. So this board rips when turning, just a little easier than the FORUM. But now the big one....the weight of this board is light...extremly light...so more fun in the park but still enough flex and damping for all mountain riding. The jury is still out on this one, but within a few weeks more info about this board. Specs: 162 length122 effective edge 62.1 width sidewall construction stonebase slider system....but in respect to forum..this one is repairable...
