Likes: Innovative definitely is the word here. Santa Cruz has been a step ahead of the rest in creating new technologies since the beginning: sandwiched rubber layers in the sidewall, the twin tip originators, double barrel construction (in their ultra high end boards) - just to name a few. Oh yah...and they don't break...ever!

Dislikes: That they're so hard to come by ... but it's kind of nice not having a board like everyone else (i.e. Burton)

Likes: My go to boards. Stable in all conditions. Lots of pop, quick from edge to edge. Solid construction, easy to maintain. I have many, I like them all.

Dislikes: I hear the warranty sucks, I have never had an issue with my Santa Cruz boards, so I would not know.

Likes: Santa Cruz has been in the game since the beginning. They had the asym sidecut back in the day way before the Park Pickle. Struct Turn bases are amazingly fast, even in slush. Boards are very light, but strong. I have a Twinza Fish and absolutely love in on the deep days.

Likes: sant cruz has good quality, packed in a low price. you wont really get noticed for how sick you board is, but you will for how sick you skills gett after riding one.

Likes: my roommate got a entrylevel santa cruz board when he first got into snowboarding, because he didn't know if he'd like it or not. he quickly made his investment worth it, and i can say after riding it that he didn't go wrong. it was cheap, and you get what you pay for, but it got him into the sport and was way better than renting. its cool that their boards all have local wood in them too, not termite-infested chop from some suspect place. their t's a cool just like their boards too!

Dislikes: can't speak for any of the higher end boards
