Stepchild PMS Performance?

Hi,

Well after searching for a second board to compliment my NS Pandora(146) for the new season (she is pretty much my everything board) I am considering another board…as similar as possible but a little lighter, more flex ok too. I still want to be stable enough to ride about on, because that is the impulsive way of Whistler riders.

I have considered a Nitro runaway but think that that would not suit me other than pure park. And the Nidecker Divine looks like a good all mountain option, a bit on the large side and maybe too stiff…

So i remember a little board we giggled about a couple of seasons ago but I cant really find any information on it. I don’t know how it performs. I would need to get a 149 (larger board)
Has anyone owned or ridden this board? Thoughts?

From Stepchild after I emailed them(there is a problem with the site so that it doesn’t complete to the send page).

Kicker 1 is a tip to tail Poplar wood core, its strong, lightweight and
gives out a fair bit of flex without losing its pop. Kicker 1 is also our
most popular core with the Sucks winning 3 good woods with it. A beefed up
core (kicker 2/3) in smaller sizes become way to stiff. Zero camber is
great for all mountain, gives the float of reverse camber with the edge
control of a regular camber (no washouts). We generally taper down the
nose and tail so the thickness is not the same as the middle of the board.
