Performance Review

First Impression. The Permanent Vacation delivers exactly what the name suggests: a loose, mellow, and surfy ride. It’s the kind of board that immediately makes you want to turn your usual speed down a few notches and just cruise.

Edge Hold. Given its soft nature, the edge hold is focused more on ease of use than aggressive grip. It’s forgiving and easy to engage. It provides enough security for a mellower cruise.

Edge Transition. Transitions are loose and playful. It doesn’t have the lightning-fast, “locked-in” feel of a stiffer deck, but that’s the point. It’s built for a relaxed, swiveling riding style that prioritizes flow.

Drive // Pop. For being a softer board, the pop is genuinely impressive.

Nimbleness & Predictability. This board is a specialist in creativity. It is “super butterable,” making it a blast for flat-ground tricks and jibbing. It feels right at home when doing long tail presses or manuals.

Stability at Speed. The comfort zone is at medium speeds where creativity is prioritized over aggressive lines. It’s not a big-mountain charger but an excellent board for terrain park progression.

Fun Factor. The fun is found in the “mini-shred.” If you ride the park, butter every knoll and jib everything in sight, this board is a 10/10. It takes the work out of riding, allowing for an effortless, creative session.

The Deep Dive

Overall Impression The board name says it all: the Permanent Vacation is for the rider who doesn’t want to work too hard and just wants to get out and cruise. It’s a soft, jib-friendly deck that makes tricks feel easy.

Who is this board for? It’s a great choice for anyone who values playfulness over power. We found the board really allows riders to progress with all styles of riding and it really makes every run feel like a holiday.
