I would say this review is spot on. I got this board without trying it (like you do!) based on the info I got online and I have been more than impressed.

As an intermediate rider, the board was perfect for cruising all round the mountain and is super-non-catchy. So many times I expected the edge to bite but it just slid over. This gives you a lot more confidence and once you know the limits, you can throw the thing around everywhere.

Edge grip is still good and it doesn’t slide out like some rockers reportedly do. You can really feel the FLF doing it’s thing to give you the best from both worlds. Admittely, you sacrifice a little edge control for a more floaty gliding board. I guess this is where personal preferance for ‘feel’ comes in.

I got the chance to use this in powder for a day and it equally performs admirably. The board takes on a whole new feel as it floats through effortlessly and just cruises.

All in all, i’m not sure why this model got discontinued, but if you get a change to buy one, you won’t be dissapointed. If you fancy joining the rocker gang, this is brilliant board to get. Love the art work too. Also as a big foot rider (US 15), I didn’t expereince any toe-drag, which is equally awesome.
