It was a given that a company headed by Kevin and Tara would do well, but they seem to have outdone even themselves with this year’s board line.

Jeenyus’ Tara Dakides board makes experts perform and beginners feel expert. And those in between, well they are lucky, too. Tara Dakides, one of the most well known female pros, definitely knows what it takes to make a good board. This board is perfect, from how it feels to how it looks. I was surprised by its extreme lightness when I picked up the board for the first time… Wow! And, even though the board is so light, it manages to have a snappy, responsive ride.

It maneuvers really well and, dorky as it sounds, it is easy to become “one with the board.” The board performs through a wide range of terrain and conditions: on our Colorado tour it handled Steamboat pow and Breckenridge park with equal ease. After riding the Jeenyus, it is really hard to go back to another board because it is so light and fun to ride.
