Meridian

$619

The Meridian is our all-mountain benchmark — the board we hand a rider who wants one deck for the whole season. A hybrid-camber profile keeps it lively edge-to-edge without punishing you in chop, and a medium flex means it holds a carve but still forgives a lazy afternoon.

Demo shop — checkout is not wired. Free binding mount on every board.

Highlights

  • Hybrid camber: camber between the feet for pop and edge hold, rocker at the tip for a forgiving feel
  • Dual-density poplar / paulownia core — lighter underfoot, damp toward the tips
  • Sintered 7200 base: faster and holds wax longer than an extruded base
  • Progressive sidecut for a carve that tightens as you lean in

The verdict

If you only own one board, this is the one we'd pick blind. It does nothing badly: it carves hard enough to keep an expert honest and forgives enough that you never feel punished when you get lazy at 3pm. The benchmark every other board here gets measured against.

Who it’s for

  • Riders who want one board for the whole mountain
  • Carving groomers and dipping into off-piste on the same lap
  • Confident intermediates ready to push into advanced terrain

Not for: Deep powder days — the Meridian floats fine for its class, but a dedicated powder shape will surf better.
