Hey im working up in the rockies for a season, we have a Df2 in shop so ive been playing on that and love the feel of the reverse camber, the flex it has and basically the whole board. The only thing I am wondering if It is a durable board. it is so light and flexible I am worried it will loose its pop/performance after the season. I would still like too use it occasionally back home for a couple of years just doing trips to the aus/nz slopes. Is there any other boards you would suggest that may be more durable. I love the df2 but I definately want to do my research and get some perspective on some other boards first

Thanks^^ I think she wouldn’t even listen to me when I say: “DON’T BUY IT” … she’s too much into it.

Cheers

Winny, yeah she would be fine on the 152cm with her boot size and weight. It’s on the bigger end but if she’s riding more slopes and backcountry I wouldn’t worry. The reverse camber will help in powder, giving her a lot more float.

It’s a EU 40.

Thanks for replying

Hey Winny,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. What’s her boot size? That will help decide as well.

Hey folks!

Just a question: My “little” cousin (SHE is 1,78cm 50kg) asked me what I think, if this might be an option for her. She’s more into riding than flying. I mean: it’s a true twin, does it rock on slopes and backcountry?
And all this new “rocker-shape”-biz: WTF!^^ Does it pay off?

And last but not least: Shes pretty high but light. I’m a bit concerned for it’s a “gents” board.

I would be glad for some advice.

Nice Bob! I also rode the DF1 which will have a review coming up soon as well, both boards I was happy with how they handled. Their reverse camber is definitely an option to consider, definitely not big mountain but still handles.

I picked up the 09-10 Drake DF1 last season with the DTM bindings. I LOVE this setup. Just a fun, versatile, board. Not the big-mountain shredder that my NS is, but I’m not afeared of taking it up high either. It can handle it all. I’m looking forward to trying out their rockered stuff.
