2011 Salomon Ivy

Year: 2011
Brand: Salomon
Model: Ivy
Size: 149
My Setup: Salomon Ivy Board / Salomon Lily Boots / Drake DL Bindings

Strengths: Beautiful and unusual looking board. Away from aesthetics however, is a board packed full of tech that can only be rivalled by top-end Roxy boards or pro models such as the K2 Eco Pop GB, at a much more manageable price! Stiff, extremely cambered, twin-directional and sintered board which excels when moving fast, its narrow construction allows you to move from edge to edge seamlessly and finding a carve is fun and fast. I did not hit any park with this board, but from riding, it is very stable and will be used on big kickers outdoors, but will NEVER touch a rail. Does not butter, but will spring an ollie that'll put your heart in your thraot! It's made for bombing down the mountain and to handle all extremes that entails. It's grippy, stable and extremely fast.
Weaknesses: Does not turn well when moving slowly due to stiff construction - so go fast :)

Would you buy this again? yes
