Unlike the Halldor Pro, the Stomper has a large carbon beam that runs from one set of inserts to the other, and it foregoes that board’s edge-to-edge carbon stringers too. That – combined with the use of biax fibreglass rather than triax – means that it may be a little less responsive when turning, but the trade-off is that it can be loaded up better to really blast off any lip or transition.

Once airborne, you can really make the most of that light wood core. Then after the 3BT-assisted landing, you can use the rapid base to make a beeline for the next park feature. Rinse and repeat as many times as you like, or take the Stomper elsewhere to make the most of its all-mountain characteristics.

A few subtle changes can make for a very different ride, so the Lobster Stomper has more than earned its place. If it sounds like the right one for you, then don’t delay.

“If you like the shape of the Halldor Pro but are put off by its more aggressive nature, get tuned into the topsheet’s iconic Icelandic imagery and get on the Stomper.

“Nothing short of pure twin-tipped freestyle fun”

It’s effectively the same shape as Halldor’s board (minus the ‘SideKick’ raised sections of edge at the widest points), but the biax glass and a single carbon stringer lend it a more mellow feeling. In fact I’d say that unless you regularly hit the bigger kicker lines, you’ll be better off on this board. It’s nothing short of pure twin-tipped freestyle fun that you don’t even have to think about to ride well.”
