“This was a magical mustache ride that I never wanted to get off of,” claimed our enthused tester. “Stable on jumps, easy to press, and popped like a champ,” she added. The Mustache Rider is a stiffer deck that was solid underfoot. Its flat profile outside of the inserts and reverse camber in the tips made it stable in all conditions, and the full-length poplar core flexed with ease. As with many Stepchild decks, it had a plethora of hole patterns for skinnier stances. This made it fun to lock down tighter carves, and it spun quickly off lips and hips.

Length (cm) — Sidecut Radius (m) — Waist Width (cm)

143 — 6.2 — 24.1
147 — 6.4 — 24.2
151 — 6.6 — 24.3

Flex: Medium-soft

Camber: Hybrid (zero between inserts, reverse to tips)

(Flex is not standardized and differs by brand. The rating here is the best estimate of the board’s flex.)

(Sidecut Radius: The measure of how deep or shallow the arc of a board’s edge is from the tips to the middle, in meters. A smaller radius, around six to seven meters means a board will generally turn tighter. As the radius number increases, a board can be expected to make wider turns. Multiple numbers on the same length board means the radius is blended.)
