The Amplid Pentaquark doesn’t have that older school super stiff flex, but it feels damper than most of those boards I’ve ridden. The Antiphase tech is no bullshit. It’s amazing how quiet the board can feel underfoot in uneven snow of any kind. Even though I mainly took this out in good conditions, it didn’t flinch when I hit a rough patch of snow. This is special and a good call for those who like to carve but often have to ride on busy days.
