I would just like to point out that this board is also available in wide.

I’ve just bought one and I will submit a full review once I take it on the slopes and to the park in two weeks.

This is a fantastic park board, it far surpasses what you might expect for it’s price.

In the park, you will find that the board is light, responsive and sturdy. It doesn’t hang up on rails and it lands well.

The board is also pretty good on any pisted run, it handles well and feels responsive - coping well with portions of icy snow and can keep up well with all mountain boards.

The board, rather unsurprisingly, struggles with powder. It’s quite simply not designed for it, the nose is easily dug in and it leads to an unpleasurable experience.

The board is perfect for the rider who has finished advancing on pisted runs and seeks to improve/begin in the park. It won’t do wrong by you on the piste, but it will excell on rails and jumps. I wouldn’t advise it as an all-round board, as it makes up for it being good in the park with it being difficult on powder.

Also, it looks amazing with the new burton mission bindings in white/black.

the hatchet 156 wide is an amazing board for the money i decided to go freestyle this year and find that this board handles everything you chuck at it i paid £220 at summits for it which i think is very good value for a board of this spec so to sum it up buy one you wont be dissapointed have fun on the shred!!!!!!!!!!
