No, this board is designed specifically for advanced to expert riders. Its stiff flex and responsive construction require precise input and strong technique, which can make it unforgiving for those still learning the basics.

The directional twin shape gives you the best of both worlds: it provides the stability and float of a directional board while maintaining a centered stance that feels natural for riding switch and landing freestyle tricks.

This is a true all-mountain freestyle deck. It excels in the park and on jumps due to its pop and snap, but the sintered base and stiff flex make it equally capable of charging hard on groomers and handling variable snow conditions.

Because of the stiff flex, you will need to put more effort into presses compared to a softer park board. However, the Reflex Core Profile helps by allowing for better torsional flex, which makes it easier to manipulate the board underfoot than a traditional stiff deck.

Like all high-end sintered bases, this one is porous and designed to absorb wax efficiently. To maintain its record-breaking speed, you should wax it regularly, especially if you are riding in dry or abrasive snow conditions.

The Diamond Carbon Fiber is there to provide energy and pop, not to make the board unstable. While it is definitely responsive and snappy, the overall construction is balanced to ensure you still feel in control at high speeds.
