REVIEW

Discuss it here

This was the board I bought 2 weeks into learning how to board and was ridden all but 4 days of a Steamboat season. It has copped an extreme amount of abuse and held up incredibly well. I have had to repair it once after attempting (poorly) to jib off a tree otherwise its been faultless. Im no technical expert and I guess you can go to the NS site and check out the specs but for someone who went from totally gumby to hucky off SMALL cornices etc its been a great all round board and one Id strongly reccomend.

Rating: 8/10

 
Additional notes

Would happily buy another NS product. In fact have a 163 version of the same model tucked away :)
