ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

I was a bit skeptical before purchased the board. It's a very stable board and held edge to edge well on ice, especially here in the Northeast. It has a slower response than my previous T Rice Pro, but it's an all well rounded board. Very please with the purchase.
Picked up a blemished 159w before a trip to Alyeska, AK to match my size 12 boots, and this board was incredible. Great edge hold on groomers and ice, very fast when pointed downhill, and dynamic on all surfaces. I loved every second I spent on this board. If your looking for a solid free ride/all mountain board, pull the trigger on this! You will not be disappointed.
Thing wants to go fast and takes anything you throw at it. Super good edge hold & feels ridiculously stable at high speed. Only gripe is hard to initiate turns at slow speed
Well made plus with Mervin you get A+ customer service and made in USA boards
heck of a slab of wood , turns on a dime, got POP, floats like yo mamas butter on a warm biscuit. I’m 5’8 200+ lbs ride the 159 built for speed laps around chumps and chumpettes
