What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode the Tornado x Beyond Medals Snowboard through a day that turned from bluebird groomers to a surprise squall by afternoon, and it never lost its composure. The stiffer flex and tri radial shape gave me a wide sweet spot, playful when I wanted to mess around and rock solid the moment I opened it up on steeper terrain."Bataleon built the Tornado x Beyond Medals Snowboard for the rider who wants a true co-pilot when the terrain turns aggressive, and the conditions stop cooperating. We point it down a variable pitch, feel the tri-radial shape settle into a wide sweet spot, and trust it to stay playful right up until the moment we decide to open it up. The Ultra Light Core blends Paulownia and Poplar for a stiffer, stable platform, while carbon stringers and Tri-Ax laminate sharpen edge response at speed without sacrificing the board's quick, playful side. SideKick 2. 0 and the directional twin shape keep the nose floating through variable snow, and Step Down Rails trim weight along the sidewall for cleaner, more precise carving when we finally lay it over.
