Once again, the Hooligan shined in the slush and sent mini shredders buttering and pressing all the way through the lift line. Ideal for spring laps, summer sessions on Mt. Hood, or linking up midwinter park lines, this cruiser was loose in all the right places for easy turning and maneuverability. Party lappers loved rallying the rocker-dominant flat camber, designed to make sliding rails easier through the jib line, and several comments touted it as nice and soft for landings. This is the Hooligan’s second Good Wood award and Smokin hasn’t changed a thing. Sunnies required.
From our testers: “This is the ultimate party board for people going on a party wave.”
Length (cm) — Sidecut Radius (m) — Waist Width (cm)
144 — N/A — 24.5
148 — N/A — 24.7
152 — N/A — 25.1
156 — N/A —25.3
159 — N/A —25.3
Flex: Medium
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.)
