"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve taken the Merc everywhere—park, groomers, even a couple powder days—and it just works. The CamRock profile makes turning effortless while still giving me edge hold when I need it. I love how easy it is to press and butter, but it’s got serious pop when I load it up for ollies.""Who It’s ForProgressing Intermediates to Advanced Riders:The Merc is perfect for riders stepping up from beginner gear or looking for a versatile all-mountain twin with freestyle chops. It suits snowboarders who want to ride a little bit of everything—groomers, side hits, park laps, and even the occasional powder stash—without switching boards. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Riding with Freestyle Freedom:From the resort’s frontside to creative laps in the park, the Merc’s CamRock profile keeps the ride smooth and catch-free. Its directional twin shape balances playful switch performance with a touch of extra stability for variable terrain and deeper snow. Why We Like ItEasygoing Yet Energetic Performance:We like the Merc because it strikes the right balance—soft enough to stay fun and forgiving, but reinforced with triax fiberglass and carbon inlays for snap and stability. It’s approachable for progression yet confidence-inspiring at speed, which makes it a reliable one-board quiver for a lot of riders."
