I love the park but I also love the trees and powder so I chose an all mountain freestyle to cover my bases.My previous boards have been mens freestyle boards that I used for everything. I have always ridden mens boards and was looking forward to trying my first womens board.The biggest difference that I noticed was that this womens board has quite a narrow waiste and decent side cut. I found these features great for freeriding (quick edge to edge and very responsive). However I also wanted a freestyle board and this board is a lot stiffer than I expected for a womens flex 4! Maybe if I spent a couple of months breaking it in it would be OK but I was disappointed as it is WAY too stiff. I think this board rides much more like a freeride board than a freestyle board. Ths is due to the stiffness, side cut and narrow waiste.I'm sure this is a good board in the right hands but not what I had expected in a womens all mountain freestyle.

The 2008 stria DOES NOT has the same feel as this year. This years stria is feel 2 while last years stria is feel 5 making it a lot stiffer. If only I had known! I havn't ridden this board yet as I may be returning it for something softer.
