Love my board. Mixed it with a pair of Burton Notori bindings and the setup looks amazing. I got so many compliments on how good my board looks. Not only does it look good, but it rides well. Smooth, but a tad stiff. Not something I'd really want to bring to the park just yet. Maybe I need to break it in. It's supposed to be for intermediate/advanced riders, but it's definitely good for beginners as well.

I use it 3 weeks a year. Nice design.

I am a Snowboard instructor at a local mountain on the east coast. I bought this board to use in my lessons, because as a twin tip, it's easier for me to ride and teach switch. This board gets LOTS of compliments on the graphics from my students and fellow instructors alike! It's a stable board, handles east coast hardpack well. It's not as flexible or poppy as I would have expected from a twin tip, especially one that is being promoted by Gretchen Bleiler. It's a stiff board, so it takes a lot to get the board off the ground (even by about 4") when you want to butter/nose press/tail press. It has a sluggish feel, and is not as fast as I would have expected it too be, so if you have the need for extreme speed, this board is probably not for you. But if you are just starting out, and want a solid, stable, reliable board with fabulous, mardi-gras type graphics, this board is worth a shot!

Although the description says this snowboard is for advanced riders, I bought it as a beginner and it's been SO great!! It pushed me to really use proper technique, doesn't catch edges too often and does great in medium powder and hardpacked midwest snow. The twintip lets you take this board anywhere on teh slopes!! It's so versatile, lightweight, not too stiff but not too soft either! And on top of all that..it is SOOO GORGEOUS, i get compliments EVERYTIME I take it out! The price is amazing too, overall great buy!!
