Formerly the “team series”, this high performance directional hybrid twin is the perfect blend with a bit of camber under the feet, combined with a tad of rocker. Easy to ride with the early rise nose and tail profile.

Just got this bad Larry today and took er for a rip in the steeps, off-piste, groomers, trees, cliffs, bumps, leftover pow and the park. This thing does it all and does it great! It's heavy and damp, but that feels really nice pushing through crud and charging with fewer vibrations. I hit a few early season rocks and the dings were minimal, this thing is built like a tank! Makes sense since it comes from the Never Summer factory. I got it in a 160w and it's soft enough along the length to press and butter for a large and somewhat heavy human, but stiff enough to not feel floppy while charging. It's a bit torsionally stiff, but I have a feeling that it will soften up over time. Love the camber profile; stable between the feet, playful at the tip and tail. The vario sidecut is cool! Never had a board with that before but I feel like it helps lock in some nice feeling carves. 10/10 would recommend for anyone like me that prefers to have one board to rule them all.

This is a great “do it all” board. I had the pleasure of riding this board in Japan in super pow conditions and it floated that pow effortlessly as it’s a directional twin but being that it’s camber it has amazing edge control and pop. When I got back stateside I took this board up to my local mountain where it’s all man made hard pack groomers and this board felt so smooth and in control at very high speeds. On a rocker board I would’ve felt squirly as It was extremely fast!! I had been riding the hybrid rocker boards from other brands over the years and now being back on camber there’s no looking back. Plus this board being made by NS only means it’s the best built board with the highest quality materials on the planet. There’s a difference between NS quality and everyone else, trust me. Been riding for over 35 years now so I have a good amount of experience with boards and quality. I couldn’t be happier with this board. I will be sticking with Academy from here on out.

Easily the most comfortable I’ve been on a board day 1! The micro camber to reverse nose and tail float in pow soo good! Board has a ton of pop and is amazing for ground tricks as well. Probably the best all mountain board I’ve ever ridden! Carves like a dream on groomers and is soo good going thru the chop! Easily the best resort board I’ve ever ridden and has a lot of pop for jumping! It’s set back 1.5 inches but I centered it. If you want something that floats in pow but carves good on groomers and can handle backcountry lines and jumps then this is the board for you!

Exactly what I thought it would be from a look and feel standpoint. Can’t wait to get out and ride it once the resorts open.

The search is over, I finally found the board for me! I'm 5'7 150lbs size 7 boot, intermediate, and the 152 is perfect. I love that it comes in a 244mm waist width, so much easier to ride for my boot size. The base is fast, board is damp without feeling heavy, it's such a smooth riding board. Thank you Academy!

First I would like to say that Jeff Baughn is an awesome human! He met me early morning on the way up to my local mountain (Sugar Bowl) to let me demo this board. Amazing customer service! Now on to the board. This board is a resort ripper !! it holds an edge really well and makes carving so much fun. I consider myself an intermediate rider that mainly sticks to groomers and this board out the gate gave me hella confidence to bomb down hill and still feel in control. I also took this through some trees a day after a huge storm passed and the quick edge to edge transition made it so much more fun in some pow. I have it paired with burton step ons and photon burton boots. This is now my daily driver from here on out. Thank you again Academy snowboards and a huge thank you again to JB for what you do! Yeeeee

I met you at the mt rose demo day. First, you and your crew were the coolest vendors I interacted with that day. Even so, that didn't influence my opinion of the board I rode which I ended up buying at Bobos. Riding the hybrid is like snowboarding with cheat codes on: it handled the slush well at northstar and it was super forgiving. And today it crushed some powder at mt rose.
