What to Compare Before Buying
- Board length: This model is 153 and is volume shifted, so compare it with the length you normally ride and the stated shorter-riding approach.
- Shape and profile: The directional C2 contour and long nose are central to how the board is presented, so check that this matches the style of riding you want.
- Sidecut: The tight 7 m sidecut is part of the stated ride character, so compare it with the turning feel you prefer.
- Construction: The board uses a Horsepower Construction core with carbon and fibre reinforcement, so buyers who care about build specification should compare these details carefully.
- Construction materials and base: The Aspen and Paulownia core, sintered base and 3-D tips and tails are all part of the build, so check whether these are the features you want.
Choosing the Correct Version
The main version check here is the size. This is the 153 board, so make sure that is the length you want before choosing an offer. The volume shifted design also matters because it is meant to be ridden 3 to 6 cm shorter than a normal board size.
Because the board is directional, buyers should also make sure they want that shape and riding feel rather than a more symmetrical board style.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 153 size before choosing an offer, and check that the directional shape and volume shifted design match the board you want. If you care about build choice, compare the stated core, carbon reinforcement, base and nose-and-tail features against your preferred setup.
