What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Salomon Dancehaul
Best Praise
+12 ptsβA different approach might be a volume shifted board like the Salomon Dancehaul. Unisex, wider waist width, shorter, versatile board that's a lot of fun in most conditions. There are several boards in this category, I just happen to ride a dancehaul on most days unless its a day that calls for a true pow board.β

ViewTop Criticism
+11 ptsβNot the pro, but I buckled the nose on a Dancehaul last year after about 15 days of riding (no impacts, just shredding some hot pow) and Salomon refused to warranty it. Fun board but I will not buy another Salomon.β

+5 ptsβMy brother has the twin pro and his main complaint is the stiffness. It is way too stiff for an amateur rider and it takes a lot of strenght to flex the board.β
