While it's short radius and sporty flex may evoke a slalom ski, the light oversteer provided by the combination of tapered tips and rocker allows you to change the rhythm and shape of your turns on demand, smoothly transitioning from short to medium-range turns—or even skids if that's your preference. The construction, which combines poplar wood and fibreglass, gives the Octo a solid and confidence-inspiring feel while remaining light and agile underfoot. This sensation is further enhanced by its 84mm width, facilitating swift edge-to-edge transitions.
