I am sooo in love with this board. Have been an intermediate rider for 15+ years, have only been using my first board since then, and this was the first proper buy I did since then, and I do not regret it at all. It is great. It is so easy to turn, so light, highly responsive and precise, but also super forgiving. Even after just 1 Day of riding it, my confidence level is off the roof (after thinking for 15 years that I just sucked at snowboarding, riding my beginner's kids' board and falling every day). It is so smooth, even on bad conditions, terribly mushy snow or ice it still has great grip. I also love the shape, the design of it. There was literally no transition period; it just flows. It's fun... I never thought that even in a hopeless case like mine, I could ride like this. You could surely put a beginner on this one; it reads your mind.
Riding a 142, at 160cm, thought at first it is too short, but turned out to be just perfect, because it's super maneuverable.
