This board provides the rider the opportunity to hit terminal velocity across all conditions. The 2025 Flagship Pro is the centerpiece of my quiver, as were the 2019 and 2022 Ultra Flagship models. This board is thrilling in steep powder and responsive on-piste. If you are the fastest rider on the mountain, touch the snow with your nose when you carve, and diligently maintain your equipment, this board is for you. You might notice yourself stopping to turn around and marvel at your tracks. There is a learning curve if you're not familiar with directional boards. You should modify your stance on this board constantly to adapt to conditions - the board responds to everything from posi-posi carving days at +33/+18, wide-stance +12/-12 slasher days, to set-back powder days at +9/-12. Start off on the reference stance. I wouldn't advise riding this board switch down steep, icy moguls when you're set up in the Float Pack unless you like Type II fun. Dry your board at night and adjust your binders when everything is at room temperature the next morning to ensure your board operates at peak conditions.
For reference, I am 5'9"/170 and continue to ride the 158 cm deck but I also enjoy the 156 in the trees.

Board would be more stable (on groomers) if there would be a bit more camber. Rocker in the nose starts to quickly, making the board unstable when flat on the groomer. When on edge, traction is however amazing.

Spent 7 days with the 162W Flagship Pro on the slopes of Kiroro, Hokkaido, over the Christmas season and saw types of weather - sunny bluebird, chop/chunder, fresh groomers, and deep (and I mean DEEP) powder - and the board handled it all and more! Stiff but lively is the description I’d use for this ride.

Don’t be afraid to size up on this as the spoon tech makes the board feel a lot more nimble and manoeuvrable that you’d think - bought the 165W in addition for the deeper, low angle pow as Japan’s where I ride.

Great job by Jones for the Flagship Pro - you have to try it to know it!

Epic snowboard!

U name it this board has seen it from PNW to AK to JAPAN this has been my go to 1 quiver board. Love the stability at high speed and response edge to edge. I'm 5`11 about 240lbs and it floats me in the deepest pow and charges the steeps like a mt goat :goat:. Currently in rehab at the moment due to my constant abuse takes a licken but still ticken. 3rd flagship 1st Carbon. Would love to see what Suttle changes have been improved on over the past few years?
