I traded up to the Headline from a Ride Decade and was thoroughly impressed with the Headline. I was worried that after dropping around $400, I wouldn’t notice any difference but was happy to be find otherwise. Almost right from the start I was faster and more confident on the Headline. It just seems much more stable at speed, carves harder and responds easily to any inputs.
Not sure how else I would describe the board or if I’m just trading up from absolute crap but I LOVE the Headline.
