Solid Rockered Twin
By Elias Littenberg
October 16, 2009
The Royale is solid. It's stiffer and heavier than your average rockered pow surfer. I'm thinking it's purpose built for inbounds crud skiing. It's a very stable, yet fluid and nimble ride in 2 o'clock pow (hammered crud), rides forward or switch with ease, and is a stomp platform when it's time to air. I loved it at the Bird and hike-to stuff at Jackson, but hated skating out of Granite Canyon. It's got some beef to it...
