Review of "WORLDCUP REBELS E-SPEED PRO"
This high-performance model boasts excellent edge grip and high-speed stability thanks to its sandwich construction and EMC technology. It is ideal for competitive skiers and advanced skiers aiming for technical competitions
and
a smaller radius would be slower, so the balance wasn't what I was looking for.

Review of "SUPERSHAPE"
This performance model is designed for high-speed carving on the piste. The same ramp angle is used across all sizes, providing both quick turns and stability. The carbon construction provides high response, while the proprietary EMC technology eliminates vibrations for a smooth ride
It's light and maneuverable,
but it may be a little unstable at high speeds. I had the impression that HEAD was a popular brand, but it seemed a little unstable compared to the VOLKL I usually ride. However, it might be a good idea to switch to a softer board as I get older.

A board that changes the brand image.
I tried HEAD on the recommendation of a friend, and my impression of it being stiff and difficult has changed. It's stable and easy to handle. I feel like I've become a better skier.
