All you have to do is look at this thing to know what a beast it is. The huge nose with an aggressive rocker profile combined with the veneer-finish top sheet makes it one of the best-looking boards in the game. On the mountain, steep and deep is the Flagship’s domain.
It’s built to handle intense riding; whether that’s pushing the speed limit on the frontside or charging the gnarliest lines out in the backcountry. The Flagship wants an aggressive rider. The medium-stiff flex pattern makes this a stable and powerful board.
On groomers, it doesn’t have a speed limit, and a camber profile will keep you locked right in even if the snow is a little firm. Chatter is eliminated and confidence is maximized. Off-trail, the board effortlessly floats in powder and blasts through crud.
It feels surprisingly nimble in tighter terrain considering how rigid it feels elsewhere. A little extra rocker in the nose decreases effective edge and makes the board easier to toss around. It’s still a medium-stiff board, so it wants a rider who knows how to drive their board, but intermediate to advanced riders who like a more solid feel will have no problem whipping around on the Flagship.
