A new series this year, the Collection boards are designed and ridden by team riders Tina Basich and Tara Dakides�two incredibly talented women with broadly different styles. With Tina�s steep and deep expertise and Tara�s hucking ability, the result is a fast and stable ride with some extra pop.

Product Manager John Moore says the Collection is a "narrower model with a solid flex, built for the intermediate to advanced rider." All three testers noted the Collection�s stiff flex pattern. Janet mentioned, "It holds an edge carving on steeps and is stable with speed."

Lisa loved it in the pipe and noted, "This could be a fun board for the right person."
