Wants to go fast and carve!!!

By Clydesdale Ranked #431 - All Mountain Snowboards February 23, 2009

This is the only board I have used for the last two years. I prefer to carve down the mountain... not into performing tricks. I love the classy design elements that don't make me look like "ricky racer" or that guy with the Mickey Mouse gloves. Arbor's artwork is my favorite of the current designers. The middle of the board is narrow. The board floats through powder with confidence and control on blue/blacks. The divots in the bottom of the board are like those on a sushi chef's knife and allow me to track true on the annoying flats. I have noticed the top layer cracking on the edges, but I feel that was from not being careful packing and taking my board on planes. My toes and heels barely stay out of the snow when I am hard on my edges.I am 6'3" with 11.5 feet... I bought the 166 model. I would not recommend this board for anyone bigger than me. Look for those "wide" boards if you are bigger. I am constantly blasting past my friends with freestyle boards when things get a tad flat, and that means less pushing yourself out of annoying places. I am using K2 Raider boots and Burton Cartel bindings with this board.
