Head Rowdy vs Weston Summit Artist Series x Brooklyn Bell

I literally had a 7 year old girl in my class today with this exact same snowboard and she was struggling hard core until I switched her out onto one of our Burton rental boards and she was immediately doing so much better. And this wasn't an isolated incident, my fellow instructors and I regularly switch kids off of Head gear in our lessons and tell parents at the end of the day to get a different snowboard for their child. They're seriously that bad.

They maneuver well in small, tight radius turns in bumps and glades, but hold their own when the terrain opens up for long, carving turns. The only condition where I have found they underperform has been thick, heavy storm snow that has included a mix of snow and rain in the same storm. Here, I have found that the ski tends to catch and wobble, particularly in the area just forward of the binding mounting, where the ski narrows.
