I rode the EL-FV two times thus far on pretty much solid Midwest ice. I can’t describe how awesome this board is. I am 6’1″ and 190 pounds, and the 155 is perfect. It has a lot of pop. It holds an edge perfectly at high speeds while riding switch or regular. I also love how catch free the board is. When I am tired of flying through tree runs, I find myself just spinning effortlessly down easier runs. The board is really stable and the never catches an edge. I don’t see myself purchasing another board for a while.

Thanks for the review Shay. I just received my new EL-FV 155 today, and it has exceeded my expectations. Burton’s website lists this board as having a park fly core, and the sticker on my board says it has a park fly II core. I was also stoked when I found that it has lightning bolts and freestyle scoops. Neither of these EL-FV features are listed on the Burton website or any other site for that matter. I realize the stickers on Burton boards can be inaccurate, but I can see the scoops on the tips of the board. As for the park fly II core and lightning bolts, I don’t know. I live in the midwest, and I have not had a chance to ride it yet. I can’t wait to see how it performs on the ice we have out here.

Sweet Mikw! Definitely rocker helps in pow, I'll try to get this board out in powder during the winter. Tyler, here's a better look to check out in regards to the easy living debate. The Danny Kass C2 is out already, it's available at shops online. I haven't ridden it yet, but on the list for the demos in November. Hybrid rocker will offer more stability than just a rocker, do you have any chance to demo the boards early in the season?

Hey Shay, thanks for all the product info… Specially in the off season! Some confusion here though about the Easy Living rocker. I picked up the new Burton catalog today, and it says that the Easy Living rocker will have the “flying v” tech, but the website just says the “v-rocker.” Any ideas? Also have you heard anything about the Danny Kass C2BTX? I’m thinking about switching to a more rockered profile this year, but want something that is twin, park-oriented, but stable- and from the reviews the hybrid cambers seem to do the trick. Any info would be great! Thanks again!

Hey Shay, thanks for the review. I might actually get the EL-V this year as I have had 3 unincs in the past and always wanted one that can float better in powder….and this might be the one.

Great review Shay…I always love reading these. Your objectivity is much appreciated. I actually don’t think that I will purchase any more Burton boards in the future just because I have branched out so much in what I demand from a board, and price is one of those factors…the only board I’ve consistently loved from Burton is the women’s Feel Good. I’m not a Burton hater, though…so far their Supremes are the only boots that have really held my heels in, despite trying 6-7 brands of boots over the years. Anyway, now I’m rambling. Thanks for the review!
