“The topsheet of the Deep Thinker makes you feel like you are wearing a brand new jacket from JD sports, with all the blue and yellow trimmings – whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you really…

Aesthetics aside, when I came to ride the Deep thinker it was strong and powerful on the piste. It also had an element of agility that I couldn’t ignore when it came to riding the fresh snow we had been graced with that week.

“The Deep Thinker was strong and powerful on the piste”

It was perfect conditions to admire the strengths of the Deep Thinker, which has obviously had some good thought put into it. The rockered nose gives you a nice gliding feeling as you go from edge to edge.

You can’t just let this board take you for a cruise though; I felt like despite the agreeable profile I couldn’t let my guard down with this. Not a problem, though; the design elements are there for someone who knows how take advantage of them, and charge until they’re out of breath.

An addictive board, to say the least.”

“I had a blast on this board. The day I rode it was a day after a fresh dump of snow, so there were both fresh patches and tracked out areas. but I didn’t really notice the difference as this thing just charged through it all with ease.

“It was a lot lighter and nimbler than I had anticipated”

Blasting off side hits and cliff drops felt like a breeze with this board as it was a lot lighter and nimbler than I had anticipated. Edge to edge was smooth and stable, giving a little confidence boost when pinning it down the pistes and laying out big carves.

The only thing I could really fault it on was that it was a little on the stiffer side than I’d personally enjoy, and would be a little lacklustre on a rail line, but thats nit-picking. Besides, it’s not what it was designed for!”
