Crew rider Lauren Weibert:
I think it’s a great board for everything, it’s so versatile.  Soft enough for park, stiff enough for freeriding.  I can butter this board fine, I especially love it on the boxes and rails, and the jumps!  I love the harshmellow too, I ride a 144 and usually, smaller boards chatter when I go fast, but not this one.  I would say that this is a perfect board for those who can’t afford to buy both a freeride and a park board, it excels at both.  Oh yeah, I rode it in powder today and it floated great!  So effortless!

Combining the ultimate powder riding experience with all terrain freestyle perfection. If you’re ready to rule the entire mountain, the Duchess is your calling.
We got Leanne on this board last season and she wouldn’t get off! With her design input, this year’s Duchess will take you from peak to park in style. The slightly longer tip and tail for effortless float in the deep stuff is combined with a twin styled shape and Hyper Progressive Sidecut for seamless response. Harshmellow tech kills chatter, vibrations and shock from flat landings and high speeds, leaving you relaxed and confident through any terrain.
