Option Vinson - 2010

Summary:

The Option Vinson has a softer nose for float in powder, firm torsional and stiff longitudinal flex and a stiff and poppy tail making it perfect for freeride charging. Tons of technology crammed into a freeride classic!

Manufacturer's Description:

For those days that you demand the very best board around, we present the all-new Vinson. For 2009-2010 we’ve improved both the weight and flex to give you the ultimate all-mountain ride. Softer nose for those uber-pow days, a medium mid-flex for rolling over those bumps, and a snappy tail to help you launch all the drops or hits you’re ready to charge. This is what we call the ‘Whistler-board’.
