tldr; Playful directional freeride board. Surfy feel when setback for powder, nimble in trees, carves well. Struggles in choppy conditions.

Best praise vs top criticism for Salomon Dancehaul
“K2 Excavator is great for pow and carves well on the groomed. The K2 Manifest would be my one quiver choice, but the new Almanac also rides well. Orca is not the "one" board in my opinion. Salomon Dancehaul is a lot like the Excavator if you like the style, rips pow and carves well. Good luck, lots of great boards out there to choose from.”
“I agree with the other two. If I broke my dancehaul, I would want to buy another or try out the pro. For what it's worth, I just got an assassin on sale this weekend and had a blast with it. No powder day with it yet, but I've heard it handles it pretty well.”
