The Cross has been designed to provide stability, ease of use, and a comfortable riding experience. With its bamboo veneer construction, it offers both global stiffness and impact resistance, while remaining lightweight and agile. Whether you're into big turns, airs, or freestyle, the Cross is a board that can do it all.
