DESCRIPTION:
Confidence
Quick edge-to-edge transitioning and stability at warp speeds join forces with a lively flex to make the Raven™ the ultimate high-performance freestyle board. This is the board riders like Keir Dillon, Kelly Clark and Frederik Kalbermatten use to slay burly backcountry booters, monster hips and straight-up savage step-ups. We mold a directional core for boosting ollies into a twin-like shape for superior handling both regular and switch. For a more freeride-inspired design, we made the boards progressively wider as they get longer to deliver the appropriate waist width for all-terrain function in deep snow conditions.

Strengths: This is a board with a firm core, stiff to the heart. Put on a fresh coat of wax and top speed is reached at a seconds notice. Balanced well for effortless spinning, with a great directional, twin shape. Bold graphic for the extreamist. A deadly weapon in the quiver of an experienced rider.
Weaknesses: For those who have 11 and above foot size, toe drag is a regular occurence, and the stiff make up lags on the rails. Try her out in the powder instead.

Strengths: Awesome board. Extremely light and easy to turn. Also has a lot of pop. I'm still in the very early stages of boarding and have only used this board one time after purchasing it and I love it. I have a pair of Burton Mission bindings on it and the board is a 148. I'm a beginner and the board is great for me. I would recommend it to anyone, and would guess it will be even better for someone who is experienced.

Strengths: The pro tip gives it a quick twist in the air and on the ground and this board can hold a edge like crazy sh*t. But what really impressed me is how good it is not only all over the mountain but in the park. I have some burton missions on it and its a 159 like the picture. Real sweet ride. BUY IT.
Weaknesses: little thin in the middle but nothing that effects ur performence.

Strengths: AMAZING! I started on last year on a K2 Nemesis (wide board). Great board in it's own right, but big mistake on my part. I ended up getting a killer deal on a Raven 155 on eBay. A world of difference. Incredible snap, response. This thing threw me around the mountain my first few runs and I loved every minute of it. My set up is Ride EX bindings (going to upgrade to the new C60s next year) and Burton SL7s (size 10.5). I've had a blast with the Raven and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone.
