It is designed to bridge the gap between both. While it has the directional shape and stability needed for technical freeriding, its mid-stiff flex and pop make it capable enough for hitting jumps and side hits in the park.

The High Power Camber provides significantly more edge hold and snap. You will feel more stability at high speeds and better energy return when popping off features, though it is less forgiving than a rocker profile if you catch an edge.

The Medium 3D Contour Base features beveled edges at the nose and tail, which makes turn initiation smoother and less catchy. It helps the board flow more naturally from edge to edge, especially in variable or slushy snow conditions.
