Take the Vinson, soften up the flex a little, but retain the freeride directional shape and all of the top-notch materials and technology, ‘et voila!!!’ the Project!

I bought this board last year, and have used it on three week long trips. I have the 157 and am using Flow NXT AT bindings.

I have had 7 weeks riding (over 5 years) and I don’t tend to spend much time in the park.

The board is a little on the stiff side if you’re looking to do ground tricks, and by the same token, I don’t think that this would be my board of choice for park riding or for a half pipe. The board is stated to be an All Mountain board, and that job it does brilliantly.

The description mentions aggressive riding, and it is great for pushing hard on pieste. It holds an edge on ice, and I haven’t had too many problems when coming to a slope where skiiers have moguled the pieste to bits! Off pieste and in powder it works nicely too.

It’s probably not the best board for pottering around the mountain, but if you like going fast, and to take on challenging slopes - this is a great board.
