This board gives a really smooth and sweet ride! A bit softer flex than the Zeppelin, so you can get get pop at a bit slower speeds, like East Coast woods. Very good K2 quality. The name is a little hokey compared to the Zeppelin, but what's in a name? This board is definitely all they say it is, An ALL MOUNTAIN PERFORMER.

Took this board out to Squaw(spring) and Breck(cold,ice), and got a smooth ride out of some very, very different conditions. This board is super-stable, went straight through cut-up crud, and built up good speed when I needed to glide through traverses. When I managed to find some pow, I floated right through. It is a heavier board for me, though (159, and I'm 5'8" and 145), and I definitely had to work harder to turn and carve. For the price, I would buy again in a heartbeat.

Bought this board a few months ago and tested it out at Sugar Mtn, NC. The board held up well on the crusty NC snow and occasional ice patches. It did an excellent job of holding its edge and I didn't fall nearly as much as I did on rental boards. I recently came back from a trip to Colorado and used this board at Breck, Keystone, and Eldora. The board performed really well on the fresh packed powder. I would recommend it to an intermediate rider or a beginner who's looking to take the next step. One other note. I got the model that's white on both sides and you can see the wood on the bottom of the board which is a really good looking feature. I got a lot of compliments on it. All in all a great board.

I ride nearly every weekend and i love getting on this board. It has great pop and is always very fast even in deep powder. The shiny white has a great look and I can't wait to get the models of this board in years to come. Highly recommend it +++++

I am a 37 yo first time snowboarder that found this board to be a great first ride. Been out six days for about a total of <75 runs on hard packed corduroy/ice (Midwest - Northern Michigan).This board may be a little stiff for a first timer but it was definitely a great choice for growth and value. It kicked my butt the first two days but I am now carving like I have been riding for years. It is great for the high-speed soulful surf-carving I envisioned when I decided to stomp off my skis. I am not a parker (too old for that) so I can't comment. The Podium has been a great free-ride board so far. For the [$] price I paid I have no complaints.
