Boyfriend
SUMMARY
The Boyfriend Series is the ultimate park and freestyle board. Its true twin shape and soft flex allow for the beginner grom and the rock solid ripper to enjoy its ride. Torsionally soft, the Boyfriend still stays under your feet when stepping to those massive park jumps, while the low profile nose and tail are perfect for jibbing in the park or in the streets. For the backcountry rider, the 148 reverse camber allows for a smooth, freestyle ride, playing on those natural hits whether riding switch or regular.
Outlined with newspapers, magazine pieces and printed photo collage, colored with fluorescent colors and neutral colors, detailed with pen, marker, ink and spray paint. By the process of this mixed media, the artwork will have a lot of contrary concepts or conflict feeling in it. Then, these scattering concepts and feelings will make neutral and primitiveness. Luminous animals. They are as luminous and as tough as your boyfriend! – Taka Sudo

Overall Impression: The Boyfriend is that easy to ride park and freestyle board for women. It’s on the softer flex side but you have the choice between camber/reverse camber depending how much playful/stability you want. The camber version offers up good stability for freeriding out of the park and can still rip through the park.
Shay’s Honesty Box: I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Boyfriend due to the size of it. But it exceeded my expectations as a women’s park board and ended up being a favorite board – because I thought about not returning it. This board comes in camber and RC, I rode the camber which helped give it stability and good pop. The size ended up being even more fun and playful in the park because it was so quick and responsive but also poppy and playful.
