Key Features
-
Shape – Directional
A directional shape with more nose than tail gives the Compact better float, smoother turn entry and more confidence when riding in your natural direction. It can still be ridden switch when needed, but it is designed to feel best driving forward across the mountain. -
Profile – Standard Camber
Standard Camber gives the board camber underfoot for pop, response and edge hold, with a longer rockered nose to help with float and easier turn initiation. -
Flex – Mellow
A softer, more forgiving flex makes the Compact easy to steer, playful underfoot and less demanding for progressing riders. It is built for smooth all-mountain riding rather than aggressive charging.
