Summary

The Nidecker Rave is a pretty old school full camber semi-mid/wide ride that we had a pretty good time on at the demos. We thought there might be a tiny bit of early rise but it seems like there isn't. Regardless the board is for those that love a mostly aggressive technical ride that stays on their game at all times.
