The 2012 Salvatore Sanchez is a great board for any skill level really. I am more of an intermediate to advanced freestyle rider who loves to hit rails, boxes, jumps, etc. And this board performs GREAT! It does come with Pres-sure Rocker... Which is basically reverse camber. Look it up, it will explain it better. Though, this board does get a little bit squirrly at higher speeds. On the Solomon flex scale, this board is a 1/5. 1 being soft. So obviously, this is a noodle board, and believe me, it is. Great for butters and even though it is very flex, it still maintains great pop, which you need in a freestyle board to hop onto rails. For this board, stay in the park, or just cruse down the mountain. This board will provide you with timeless fun!
