ITs short but rides long. feels like a mid 170 board.
very damp, Coiler metal is the shizznit
very lively but in a controlled way.
lay it over and it initiates flawlessly. The schtubby tech is at work here. The few times I thought I might have pushed to far one of two things solved the problem immediately (relax and lay it farther over) The tendency to muscle the board was resisted while simply relaxing put the board into auto pilot.
I ride a Madd BX stiff w/o carbon butterfly on most groomer days. Which I love by the way. this board is light years ahead and way easier to ride.
