Performance Review
First Impression. Right out of the gate, I rode the Iris Pham pro model from the steeps to the terrain park. It felt stable with a lively snap. It was slightly stiffer than I expected, but that extra backbone provided great stability without sacrificing playfulness. It felt right at home on rails and jibs immediately, and it was a blast in the mini-pipe.
Edge Hold. The board’s symmetry makes toe and heel-side turns feel natural and balanced. Designed to be more of a jib-centric deck, cruiser turns were quick and snappy but edge hold lacked a bit of grip on firm and steeper terrain.
Edge Transition. The Zaza is impressively quick edge-to-edge. It maintains a surfy feel that makes slashing between features and navigating tight park lines feel effortless.
Drive // Pop. Super poppy! This board is built for ollies and side hits. It has a high-energy “snap” that fires you out of turns and into the air. If you like to load up the tail and launch, this board delivers in spades.
Nimbleness & Predictability. This is where the Zaza truly shines. It is a park specialist that thrives on rails and jibs. It’s incredibly easy to lock into features while still allowing enough flex to press and get creative.
Stability at Speed. It’s stable enough for park jumps and mid-mountain laps, but it isn’t a high-speed vibration-damper for the steeps.
Fun Factor. The Zaza is a ton of fun. It’s poppy, fast, and encourages a creative riding style. Whether you are buttering on the flats or boosting in the mini-pipe, you really get the most out of this board in the terrain park.
The Deep Dive
Overall Impression The Zaza is a freestyle-first powerhouse. It’s a snappy, fast, and creative board that thrives on rails and jumps. It’s an intuitive deck that encourages you to channel your inner Iris Pham and push your limits.
Who is this board for? Intermediate to advanced park riders who want a rail-focused board that can still handle jumps and all-mountain laps. It’s for the rider who values precision on features and a surfy, playful vibe.
Who is it NOT for? Riders who spend their time charging steep, variable terrain or those who prioritize rock-solid edge hold on hardpack and ice.
