The Slayblad offers one of the best carving experiences in the game and is a serious contender to the awesome Burton Custom.
The hybrid profile makes the board incredibly stable while offering amazing edge hold for real power and precision on the mountain. I loved how fast this board could go and how locked in you felt when riding it.
If you are more experienced and would like a more advanced all-mountain freestyle snowboard then this has to be a strong contender. Once I took one lap on this board I didn't want to put it down, revelling in how mischievous it made me feel!
Ben Kilner loved this board in the pipe, park and all over the mountain, but even a progressing beginner would enjoy this board.
