The board has a bunch of scuff marks and scrapes on the topsheet and sidewalls.

There is one minor gouge in the base.

Despite the scuffed-up appearance, the actual performance is very good. This is quite the deal, if you want to get into slalom riding. I purchased it new, and rode it maybe 25 days.

It has 13.5mm of camber when laid flat on the floor with no bindings.

It has an all-purpose linear-crosshatch base grind that is highly uniform. I have just tuned the base and edges. I waxed it with high temperature yellow wax, scraped the base, and brushed it. If you carve in a very cold area, you probably want to re-wax it with a low temperature wax before you ride it. It has edge angles of 2º, and base angles of 1º. I have not detuned the edges, but in general, I have found that the board doesn't need detuning. I also cleaned out the inserts with a bottoming tap.
