Summary:
Snowboard-Review.com’s head of testing Tom still rants and raves about the Angus, his words at the time of testing were ” I absolutely love it”. However, it wasn’t just Tom’s opinion, last year the Angus cleaned up on awards from some of the planets most highly revered snowboard media, the revolutionary new Amptek profile had everybody in the industry talking. This year the Angus returns pretty much unchanged, some might say, change for the sake of change is futile. The only change we can find this year is a new lick of paint… a paint job so gruesome it will make small children cry from 50 feet away.

All these features and materials have come together to create a freeride thoroughbred with a reputation to match. One of the best backcountry missiles on the market.
Manufacturer's Description:
The perfect balance of power and control.
Based on last year’s Experience, the 2010 edition is the thrasher sub-genre of all mountain snowboarding characterized by its combination of Magne-Traction edges for infinite grip and AmpTek for ultimate absorption, floatation, and flawless control. The new Experience elevates confidence to an unprecedented level with an extended nose and tail that taper off just before the inserts. Exaggerated nose and tail lengths absorb bumps and sharp trannies like nothing you’ve ever Experienced and makes total control a reality for any rider on any terrain. Need we say more
