PERFECT!

Rating:*****
I just upgraded to the duchess after riding a beginner board while learning. It is amazing. The board rides smooth and is quick so you can keep up with the boys. It cuts through pow like nothing. It is the best purchase i have ever made.
It is probably not good for beginners because it is stiff, but for more advanced riders this stiffness makes the Duchess hold an edge like nothing. It gives you a lot more control.
The top sheet is cloth so it frays, but all boards get chips and a fray of tear is the equivalent of that.

Awesome Board!!!

This board rocks! I absolutely love it. The Duchess gives you lots of speed on groomers, but also the ability to maneuver through powder with ease. I've also noticed it doesn't chatter on groomed runs like I've experienced with past boards. It's sturdy, stable and just pure fun. Lastly, it's taken my riding to a higher, better level and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!

I love it. I've been progressing a lot and bought this board as I'm getting to the next level of my riding. I wanted something a bit shorter for park terrain but wanted all mountain board as well. This is great at park, moguls, powder, steeps, ice, everything. If you want one all-purpose board, this is the one. I have no complaints...just wish I got it sooner!
