l was looking forward to my first ride on the Mountain Surfer 152 with great anticipation. After 4 years on the Burton Family Tree 140 pow surfer, it took about 4 runs to get used to the wider board but once I got my stance dialed in, it was great. Floats way higher and is therefore faster in deeper pow, allowing me to blaze trail for the Burtons who have to follow. Added a bunch of the Burton traction spikes as the rubber foam mats were a bit slippery once the snow started sticking but now I have zero traction issues and am loving every ride on it. After 10 years of pow surfing at our local closed down community ski resort in the interior of BC, I'm having as much fun or more than ever! Thinking about the 142 now. . .

This board is awesome, super surfy and easy to control in deep pow. It gets a little squirrely on any hardpack or crust which is to be expected.

I honestly did not expect this board to be so much fun and easy to ride. We have a nice big pasture at 30 degree slope in front of our place and I have ridden it now about 10 times after a storm and have a bigger and bigger smile on my face after every ride. I take my 3 year old son between my legs on the boars and on 30cm fresh snow we can do some nice turns amd he loves it. Good tip they gave me in Zero G store in Chamonix was to ride it with soft Sorrel type snow boots and it makes a difference

First time surfer, great shape and it handled smooth as butter! Was too much fun, bring on the snow!

Loved my Mountain Surfer so much the whole fam has them now. Easier to ride than you might think, but definitely shines brightest when the snow is fresh.

Great board to enjoy the first snowfalls with the family! Really technical but surprinsingly accessible as well!
Riding the 142, more versatile for the kids!

Grate looking board at a reasonable price haven’t got a chance to ride it yet do to it being summer

This powsurf has given me the option to turn high avy danger days into the best days on low angle terrain. I am convinced there is no better way to up the fun factor while simultaneously reducing risk. The big nose makes for effortless float in the pow and fun surfy turns out of the tail. The 3D base gives it a bouncy feel from edge to edge, much like that of a surfboard in water. This is the best way to just feel like a kid playing in the snow again.

It's my favourite board to cruise at high speeds. Extremely stable and lots of pop.
It's a wonderful resort rasor.
Not really suitable or any butters or freestyle riding, very hard to press even with my 87kg. I have another board for that.
Not designed for pow at all, you have to sit hard on your back leg. I always take my Storm Chaser for woods and fields.

I’ve been powsurfing on different boards (noboards, grassroots, my own creations) since about 2004. I saw this board at a demo tent and fell in love. It looked like it had a lot of features that would have incorporated into my own designed if I had access to 3-D molds.

First the good parts.

The construction is great, light yet strong, p-Tex base, and a bit of concave for traction.

Now for the bad news

upon riding it it was overdesigned. Huge spoon in the super-wide nose helps it float, but also rides loose. And the tail channels help create a powerful backend.

But they don’t work well all that together. It looks good on paper, but it was a bit of a struggle to turn it, the channels are so deep the kind of lock you in almost like a carve, especially in heavier snow.

To make a board more balanced all the main areas need to be detuned a fair bit. The guy might design great surfboards, but I don’t think he’s powsurfed enough to understand the subtleties needed.

For the same price I’d definitely recommend a Shark or Grassroots instead.
