Strengths: This board is such an amazing board. I`ve been riding for 12 years and I never had a better board. I would buy it again without any hesitation. Its base is very fast. the edges got a very good grip on tight turns. The board is super smooth to ride. very flexible so its easy to jib around and respond perfectly. a big plus is the directional shape. it gives you a better control in powder but it still great if you want to ride switch.
Weaknesses: The base is amazing. super fast but easy to break off. It peel like a banana...after only one month of use I was missing chunks and needed to got it a shoot of pitex...also after only 4 months of riding I snapted it...a very good board but unfortunatly a board that wont last very long if you ride it very intensively.
