SL-R reviewed by New York Times
As the title says - the 09/09 SL-R has been reviewed by the NY Times gear tester Cameron Hunter. His comments were With "a lot of pop" and "great edge-hold," it was good everywhere and in all conditions: "very, very stable at high speeds," "floated through the powder amazingly," "great in trees" and "plowed through cruddy snow." He said the board is for the intermediate or advanced rider. It was his favorite board of the test, and a board he would ride every day.
That is an excellent review.
