| Review Detail |
I bought this as my first board after using nasty rentals since learning as I really wanted to progress, the board gets decent reviews all over and for the money I can't complain.
It rides really well and is a nice fast board that will grab an edge and keep it, so sharp turns are a breeze. The top sheet graphics are sweet, but it does scuff really easily when f*cking skiers walk all over it in the lift queue. It comes with a lot of Burton tech for a lower end board:
Duelzone EGD
Even core profile
Super fly core
Sintered base
Pro-tip
Infinite ride
I've read complaints that the boards heavy and it might be, but going from rentals to this I can't say that's the case for me. It feels nice and light. Stiffness though WOW, it is really stiff. It does flex well but you have to put a lot of effort in to getting it to do so.
All in all I love this board, it's helped me to dramatically improve since the first time I rode it. |
