The swallow tail removes material from the back of the board, which allows the tail to sink more easily in deep snow. This naturally lifts the nose, giving you better float in powder without needing to lean back aggressively.

While the C2 contour makes turn initiation easier, this board is designed with performance-oriented features like a progressive sidecut and directional shape. It is better suited for intermediate to advanced riders who want to focus on carving and powder riding.

The C2 contour combines rocker between your feet with camber under each foot. This gives you the stability and edge hold of camber for carving on hardpack, while the rocker section keeps the board loose and forgiving for easier turn initiation.

While you can ride it through the park, it is primarily built for all-mountain riding, carving, and powder. The directional shape and swallow tail are optimized for directional riding rather than switch tricks or rail features.

A progressive sidecut uses multiple radii along the edge, which helps the board engage the snow more smoothly. You will notice that turn entry feels more forgiving, but as you commit to the turn, the edge locks in securely for reliable hold.
