DESCRIPTION:
Take flight. Driven by Keir Dillon, Kelly Clark and Freddie Kalbermatten, the Raven is the all-terrain freestyle board of choice for charging transitions and backcountry lines full-speed. Redesigned in 06 for a more playful feel, we’ve made the Raven slightly softer with less bite for improved stompability in any snow condition. For monstrous pop we mold the directional core into a twin-like shape for the absolute best handling both regular and switch. Designed with freeride roots, we’ve made the boards progressively wider as they get longer to deliver the appropriate waist width for deep-snow performance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Confidence Quick edge-to-edge transitioning and stability at warp speeds join forces with a lively flex to make the Raven™ the ultimate high-performance freestyle board. This is the board riders like Keir Dillon, Kelly Clark and Frederik Kalbermatten use to slay burly backcountry booters, monster hips and straight-up sava... More» |

Strengths: This is a board with a firm core, stiff to the heart. Put on a fresh coat of wax and top speed is reached at a seconds notice. Balanced well for effortless spinning, with a great directional, twin shape. Bold graphic for the extreamist. A deadly weapon in the quiver of an experienced rider.
Weaknesses: For those who have 11 and above foot size, toe drag is a regular occurence, and the stiff make up lags on the rails. Try her out in the powder instead.

Strengths: Awesome board. Extremely light and easy to turn. Also has a lot of pop. I'm still in the very early stages of boarding and have only used this board one time after purchasing it and I love it. I have a pair of Burton Mission bindings on it and the board is a 148. I'm a beginner and the board is great for me. I would recommend it to anyone, and would guess it will be even better for someone who is experienced.

Strengths: The pro tip gives it a quick twist in the air and on the ground and this board can hold a edge like crazy sh*t. But what really impressed me is how good it is not only all over the mountain but in the park. I have some burton missions on it and its a 159 like the picture. Real sweet ride. BUY IT.
Weaknesses: little thin in the middle but nothing that effects ur performence.

Strengths: AMAZING! I started on last year on a K2 Nemesis (wide board). Great board in it's own right, but big mistake on my part. I ended up getting a killer deal on a Raven 155 on eBay. A world of difference. Incredible snap, response. This thing threw me around the mountain my first few runs and I loved every minute of it. My set up is Ride EX bindings (going to upgrade to the new C60s next year) and Burton SL7s (size 10.5). I've had a blast with the Raven and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone.
