Weston's flagship powder-focused freeride shape, built with a directional multi-radial camber-rocker profile: lift in the nose, a setback stance driving power into the tail, and a sidecut tuned for smooth, powerful turns. The Backwoods Carbon variant, which shares the shape, uses a full carbon topsheet and aluminum stringers sandwiched into the core. Whitelines' review of the Backwoods Carbon called it super-fast, responsive, and agile -- like a great banked-slalom board -- without the harsh, purely-stiff feel some "ultra-performance" boards have. LocalFreshies' side-by-side review of both the solid and split versions described the Backwoods as feeling like a sports car that rewards being ridden with intent, with a stiffer, more locked-in feel than most directional twins in a rider's quiver.
