Performance Review
First Impression. It features an easygoing feel thanks to its rocker-dominant bend and medium flex, making it fun from the very first lap.
Edge Hold. For a freestyle-focused board, it holds up remarkably well around the resort. The Magne-Traction edge is a standout, providing a confident feel when things get firm without any negative drag or catchiness.
Edge Transition. This is a high point for the Tre. The asymmetrical sidecut and rocker-dominant shape make this board super quick and easy to turn. It has a nimble, “swivelly” feel that wants to initiate a turn the second you tilt it on edge.
Drive // Pop. There is a slight adjustment period for finding the pop, especially on flat ground. You have to learn the sweet spot to load the camber zones underfoot. It feels most natural and provides the best “snap” on side hits or small bumps where the terrain helps load the board for you.
Nimbleness & Predictability. The Tre is a ton of fun for ground tricks and butters. It has a loose pivot point when you want it, but still lets you lock in the edge once you find your balance.
Stability at Speed. While it feels comfortable at a wide variety of speeds, if you really push it into high-gear, you will notice some flutter. It’s perfect for normal resort riding, but it has a definitive ceiling if you’re trying to bomb the steepest runs.
Fun Factor. The fun factor is high for riders with a freestyle mentality. It’s equally at home on jumps as it is on jibs. The bend of the board naturally wants to send you into rotations, making spins feel easy even if your form isn’t perfect.
The Deep Dive
Overall Impression The Tre is best described as an all-mountain capable park board. It’s a fantastic choice for the freestyle-focused rider who prefers a rocker-dominant feel but still wants a deck that can explore the resort and even float on a powder day.
Who is this board for? The freestyle-focused intermediate to advanced rider who wants a versatile board for jibs, jumps, and ground tricks, but still wants to explore the whole resort regardless of the snow conditions.
