![]() But can definitely handle a good amount of speed without getting shaky. I was back and forth between giving this a 3.5 or 4 for speed, but ultimately I think it falls closer to 3.5. It's pretty good at speed - again for a mid-flexing twin, it feels better than you'd think. Skidded Turns: Forgiving of skidded turns to an extent but not super forgiving Speed For it's width, this board is good edge-to-edge. Quicker turner than my Greats, I reckon, so it's partly the size. Maneuverability at slow speeds: I found it really quick turning at slow speeds, despite that extra width. It had to be the best, if not one of the best twin, mid-flex boards for carving out there. Carving & TurningĬarving: I just love carving on this board. It's got plenty of surface area for the length, but otherwise it doesn't have much else going for it for powder, apart from a little rocker in the nose and tail. It's the only real weakness of this board. It's not a powder board, let's put it that way. Nothing serious but there were some - and also I own the 2019 model of this board in the 156, so I've ridden it in powder (even though it's not my choice of board for powder days, you sometimes get those surprise days that are deeper than you expected!). The Greats is pretty close to average when you look at grams/cm, but it's a wider board, so is probably just on the lighter side in terms of grams/surface area. ![]() ![]() If I could do grams per surface area, this would be a more accurate measure, but since not all brands publish surface area (and I don't have the tools or knowledge to work it out), I can't unfortunately. ![]() * based on a sample size of around 100 models that I’ve weighed in 2019, 2020, 2021 *& 2022 models.
