David, from what i’ve seen with flat camber profiles is they won’t float as well as a rocker profile in powder and you’ll still require effort to ride them in pow like if you were riding camber in pow.

Chris, I haven’t ridden the MLF to compare but I’ll try to get on it in the future.

Hi I was just wondering how this board compares to the mlf.. that’s what I have and love it but I’m looking for another board to ride.. main comparisons I’m looking for are in weight and flex and ability to carve? It’s got a pretty wide turning radius… can it do short radius carves?

THanks

How well does this board float in the pow? I’m looking for something twin-ish that can handle 30-40cm of fresh.

Manhatten, depends on how often they are planning to go. It’s not going to be an easy board to ride when learning and progressing but if they are planning to ride a lot and progress quicker, then possible.

would you recommend the board to a beginner/intermediate rider? thanks

Manhattan, a more aggressive rider, someone who is looking for a stiffer mountain ride that rides similar to camber. I didn’t notice it as catchy but it’s not like rocker where it’s totally lifted contact points.

what level of rider would you recommend this board for? and because of the relatively flat shape, how catchy is the board? thanks

Keither, definitely!

Francis, similar boards in my opinion and comparable for the riding style. Devun is a twin, SL is directional twin so some difference there. In the handling, the SL had more dampening but the devun rode most similar to camber.

I was just wondering if you could compare this board to the Neversummer SL.
I’m looking for a board an all mountain board that allows me to charge fast and the ability to do quick and long turns as well. I don’t venture much into the park/pipe or do rails.

I think the cambered core profiles are gonna be the new standard. It just makes sense in terms of more pop .
