The Café Racer is a softboot carving board, ideal for tight aggressive turns when tearing up resort groomers. The full camber gives you more grip in turns from tip to tail and rides like a train on tracks. A good board to learn how to carve properly but that is also able to handle the perfect turns of a powerful experienced rider. Even though it is built for groomers it can handle some powder and due to the sintered base, it’s also a banked slalom winner in tighter banks. We recommend riding this board with steeper positive binding angles as well as a slightly narrower stance to let the board flex nicer when riding.
