The asymmetrical shape is designed to match the natural mechanics of your body. Because your heelside turn uses different muscles and leverage than your toeside turn, the board features a shorter, deeper sidecut on the heelside to make those turns feel just as intuitive and powerful as your toeside carves.

The C2x profile combines rocker between your feet with camber underfoot. This gives you the float you need in softer snow and deep powder, while the camber zones provide the edge hold and stability required for icy groomers or firm park landings.

With a flex rating of 5.5 to 6.5, this board sits right in the sweet spot of medium-stiff. It offers enough stability and pop for charging around the mountain, but it remains playful enough to press on rails and butter through the park without feeling overly rigid.

Sintered bases are porous and highly durable, but they perform best when kept waxed. You should plan on hot-waxing the base regularly—especially if you ride often—to keep the material hydrated, fast, and protected from drying out.

While it is built for progression, the medium flex and forgiving C2x profile make it accessible for confident intermediates looking to step up their game. Absolute beginners might find the responsiveness a bit demanding, but it is an excellent choice for anyone ready to move beyond their first setup.
