- Pros: Floats easy in powder, Very playful and fun board, POP
- Cons: can be washy, Topsheet scratches easy,
Experience:
Just took my 159 out in some deep fresh Japanese powder. This is my first reverse camber board & instantly i noticed how effortlessly it floated. It does produce a more skate like feel as promised, but at times can be washy as other reviewers have said some rocker tech can tend to be. It's definitely less catchy, but gives up some dampness and stability for that softer fun mid-flex pattern. I'd put the flex somewhere around 5-6 on a scale of 10 with this board. As far as pop goes, it's actually a bit more poppy than I would have thought it to be. To me the Reverse Crew is a freestyle board, that can handle most things a daily rider would throw at it. Overall, Solid price, solid tech, all around fun board with a few quirks.
