Strengths: This was the first snowboard i purchased. I ride a 161. It has a great quality base, I`ve been boarding for 3 years now, but even when i was new to it, when i was on this board i was able to keep up on the flat and overtake most other boarders. I bought this board as a freeride board. It was great off piste, floating through the powder, stiffness of board meant it cut through moguls rather than unbalancing you and sending you into a crash. the board had a really good edge/rails (until i detuned it for riding in my local snowdome)

Weaknesses: Relatively heavy. So harder to pull off spins. But thats probably because the board is a bit long for me to be used as a freestyle board (i`m 6ft). After landing face first on a rail in the local snowdome i filed the rails on the board down (detune), rides much better in the park now, but i couldn`t get the edges back this xmas when i went on hol, for cutting into the icy pistes. Nothing against the board really. Great intermediate board, helped me progress loads, allowed me to start learning to ride in the park. But now looking for a more freestyle spealised board
