"XC" is an abbreviation for Extreme Carve, and is a carving board with a complete hammerhead shape that allows you to make extreme carving turns like an alpine board even with soft boots. This is a board that has the characteristics of a completely manual carving style, allowing you to flex and turn the board by controlling the board yourself, allowing you to step into it with all your might. The new "XC-R" is based on the XC concept and has improved ease of handling and bending.
R stands for "Revised," "Relise," "Revolution," and "Radious," but compared to XC, the flex has been changed from 5 to 3.5. . 3.5 has the same level of flex as a semi-hammerhead FC. Furthermore, the side curves are deeper than the XC, making it easier to turn and handle. Additionally, by making the convex finish of the sliding surface a little flatter than before, you can square the edges and enjoy carving automatically. A board that allows you to experience the real pleasure of carving that you have never been able to experience before. This is a board that I would recommend anyone who has given up on riding XC because it is difficult to control to give it a try.
