Product Info

Terje, Nicolas, DCP and Downing’s freestyle powder stick, the Malolo™ brings together the best of OG ATVs like the legendary Custom™ and the powder-hungry Fish™. No rear leg burn, no need to sacrifice control in the air for float in deep snow, the Malolo and its moderately tapered shape lets you spin off cliffs, stomp in powder, then spray your crew. Incredibly fast, stable, and agile on-piste and off, prepare to re-experience the entire mountain. Not satisfied with standard issue? You can custom build this board with your own art or photos for graphics at www.series13.com.

stormrider's Review

March 2nd, 2008

Summary:

The Malolo redefines riding powder.

Review:

The Malolo is tapered by 20mm, which means the tail is narrower than the big spoon-shaped nose. This helps the tail sit down in the snow, and gives your back leg a rest on those deep pow-days.

It took a few good days of riding to get used to how the Malolo steers, but once you've gotten a feel for it, you're hooked. I was dubious of buying a powder board shorter than my all-mountain board, but it definitely works.

Amazingly, the board holds a pretty good edge on groomers and cat-tracks as well, which means that not only is the Malolo great for getting first tracks, but it's good at getting to and from first tracks.
