Amazing board, and not only for pow. This deck can carve like a 90s flourescent ski suit wearing European laying in turns on a snowboard in hard boots. Im 5'10 230 lbs and am usually used to longer boards. I got this in the 156 and its definitely enty of board. It held my carve like no other board before and riding on pow and snow stashes was effortless, and very comfortable. Board is stiff with enty of pop.

Wow. I bought this board as a quiver stick for my Japan trip, and it performed exceptionally in January Japow! Now back home in Colorado, this board is really showing off it's versatility. Super quick edge to edge and able to carve deep. You will surely learn to throw out that short tail, making turns in tight trees or through the bumps lightning quick! I'm 5'10", 180 lbs and usually ride a 157 or so, but really glad I went with the 152cm Dart. 100% recommend this board. You will definitely get some curious looks and comments -- it's a noticeably unique ride.

By far the funnest board I've ever had. Super fast and responsive and comes out of a turn faster than going in. Great board and such an amazing price
I got lucky and was able to ride this three times in mostly powder conditions that ranged from 3 to 4 feet of lightweight powder to 2 feet of sierra cement mixed with chunder. (Mammoth and bear)Pros:Getting this thing in a pow field is absolutely amazing. The tail completely disappears with zero rear leg fatigue. The float is by far the best thing about this shape with even pretty good pop out of powder. With the super short tail, slashing around is extremely easy and riding between tight trees is a breeze. Riding around groomed packed pow and flats was fun too, the Korua sidecut is a work of art. Turns never felt rushed and easily transitions between toe and heel carves. The extra width helps with confidence that you won't boot out with a size 9.5 boot.Also ...

The extra width helps with confidence that you won't boot out with a size 9.5 boot.Also hit a few stumps and small rocks on this thing and the base is still perfect.Cons:It's really not fair to put these as Cons since this board isn't really designed to be a quiver killer. The short and split tail keeps this tail of this board on the softer side of medium when cranking turns. The camber is great and helps with some pop out of turns, but you don't get the same spring as you would at the end of the turn with a full tail. Popping off the tail on hardpacked is so-so as expected. And riding this thing switch feels like I am riding a snowshoe with some ptex on the bottom.Chunder performance:I wouldn't classify this as a Con or Pro. There certainly are boards that are better in these types of conditions, but for a board with this much specialization it really wasn't bad.Conclusion:This was the missing piece for me as a powder board and quite honestly if you are looking at this board and this review, you know why you want this thing too. The shape and sidecut makes this board extremely fun on piste, but unlike the typical hybrid powder boards you'll find; this thing makes no compromises when it's in pow. To me this makes the Dart, one of the best resort powder boards.
I just returned from a snowboarding trip from Hokkiado japan this spring 2020 I rode it in some powder it was amazing and also it was great on groomers definitely would recommend this board
This is the greatest board I have ever touched down onto the snow. Up until this point, I've been riding twins which are great and all but i prefer the hanging out in the woods and just cruisin the majority of the time. And let me tell you, this is the one for the job. Doesn't matter if the woods snow is pow, packed, 2 inches of ice on top of pow, it cuts through it all the same. When you pop off in the freshies, the back goes right under the snow and shoots you up in the air very nicely. Even in groomers the pop is still there. And speaking of groomers, euro carves for daysss, like 1 day on this thing and your carving happy faces all over the mountain. Plus, all the employees running the lift lines will look at it and say things like "Does that V make you go ... MoreThis is the greatest board I have ever touched down onto the snow.

I recommend.

The Café Racer is a softboot carvingboard, ideal for, tight, aggressive turns when tearing up resort groomers. The full camber on this board 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 also able to handle the perfect turns of a powerful experienced rider. Even tough 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.
