Rene's special kicker killer
von Jussi, Blue Tomato Shop Helsinki, Blue Tomato, 01.02.2023
I chose this board to be a jump board next to my DC Ply backyard/jib board. This board kills it with edge control, with agressive camber and pop. However this is quite much to handle so take this in mind that it is not a beginner board. I weigh 70 kg which is quite ideal for this model but it takes still a lot of energy to move this board.
It is a powerful board and you will understand after riding it how Rene flies so high with it. I enjoyed with this board that it made exactly what I wanted it to do - it goes straght and with a lot of speed and then its up to you to be able to handle it. It is a progressive board and I am sure it will make me a better snowboarder as I have to take charge. It is not a loose board but I loosened up a bit after 4 sessions.
Take this board if you can handle that 7 flex and want to fly to the moon from every kicker, big or small. It is not easy to butter that is true but for a good butter you will need speed anyway. I was surprised that I enjoyed rails as much with this board for it being a 25.4 mm wide, which is somewhat wider that I am used to riding (25.1-25.2). I think it has the best edge hold that I've had on any board (Huck Knife, The Outsiders, PLY, Outerspace Living, Dropout, The Sleepwalker...)
