I was given the opportunity to try out one of these boards this past weekend at the Farm race in NY. The fit and finish of these boards are great, very high quality professional construction. The board I rode in the GS race at the Farm was an extra stiff flex.
I am not sure if this will make sense to anyone, I am not schooled on the science of what make a board work. But the rolled top on the board seemed to focus the weight of the rider directly over the trucks preventing the board from absorbing any energy needed for pumping and traction. The rolled top allows for a better feel on the top of the deck, which allows you to easily adjust your foot placement and lock in on the pressure point or the sweet spot of the board.
Some of the guys who only looked at the board thought that the rolled top would restrict the edge-to-edge control and performance. But everyone who rode the board thought the board was extremely responsive and better edge to edge than many shorter wheel-based boards. I would have used this board on most of the hybrid and all of the GS courses I have raced on this year.
I finished 6th in the GS on this board. Considering the competition at this years Farm, that was a very good finish for me? Probably one of my better finishes ever. No doubt someone will put this board on the podium this year.
