Terrain Use: Half Pipe, Jumps, Boxes and Rails, Speed, Powder, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Great value

Other Thoughts: I had the opportunity last season to demo the prototype for this snowboard and was simply amazed. Its ride compares to quite a few of higher end snowboards that i have ridden. My riding style is mostly park, but all pow on the days that offer it. The best time i had on the crew was on a day with about 6 inches of fresh. i got to rock it everywhere. It had enough edge hold to power through the groomers, floated easily in pow and was a blast in the park. When i demo boards in the park i tend to ride them a bit harder than my own personal boards and it held up like a champ. It presses easily on jibs, and still has enough power for bigger sized jumps. At the same time it will be an easy board for people to learn to carve on and get into their intermediate/advanced stages of riding. At the price point it is one of the most versatile boards around and im stoked that it is our store's model.

Terrain Use: Jumps, Boxes and Rails, Powder, Backcountry, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Durable, Easy to carve, poppy, Popular model, Strong edgehold, Popular on mountain, Soft, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: Im Popular is what the skate banana said. The top selling snowboard for a reason, it rides fantastically everywhere. Gives the most skate feel out of any snowboard to date. This is why the banana is more popular than your local Johnny football hero.

Pros: The shaun white pack has one of the biggest laptop compartments out of most of the bags i have used. The whole back section opens up for it and its padded on both sides. Its lined with a snazzy black and white striped lining and has tons of cool compartments

Cons: it would be hard to snowboard with.
