Like its fatter brother the Fury, it's light and prefers a soft touch, but the Tornado loves snappy arcs in the fall line. GRIPES: Not a very stable straighliner, but put it on edge and it hums. PROPS: Adaptability trumps stablility. The smooth tip flex kept it afloat in powder and it excelled in bumps. The TESTER'S TAKE: "more energy than a triple shot of 'spro." -Pete Webbe
