Artec Gabe Taylor

The Artec Gabe Taylor is one of the best selling boards around in 2012. It features a blunt tip and tail freestyle orientated twin-tip shape but don't be fooled into thinking this board rides like a plank outside of the park. The boards true strength is its versatility, you only have to watch Gabe's section in any of the latest snowboard movies to know that he likes to shred the whole mountain and of course does it on this board. It demonstrates quick response and excellent edge hold, is lightweight but snappy and is easy to ride for most ability levels. This is a true go anywhere board that performs way above its price tag.
