This board is specifically designed for advanced to expert riders. With a flex rating of 7 and a directional camber profile, it requires precise input and experience to handle properly, making it less forgiving for those still learning the basics.

While it is a directional board, the tail is designed to be switch-friendly. You can comfortably ride fakie when the terrain calls for it, though the board's primary focus remains on forward-facing performance and powder float.

Yes, the Directional Progressive Magne-Traction technology is specifically engineered for hardpack and ice. It provides extra contact points along the edge, giving you significantly more grip and confidence in firm conditions than a standard sidecut.

It is built as a versatile daily driver for advanced riders. While the big floaty nose excels in deep snow, the directional camber and stable flex make it highly capable for carving groomers and navigating varied resort terrain on a day-to-day basis.

The 38 mm setback shifts your stance slightly toward the tail, which naturally helps the nose stay above the snow in powder. This setup reduces leg fatigue in deep conditions while maintaining enough stability for aggressive carving on hard snow.
