How It Was Tested

I did same day testing with the Soul Blower and O’Sin 4807

Approximate Weight

The Soul Pitch Wing is pretty light for its surface area and size but not soo light that it would be considered ultralight.

Sizing

For my specs mentioned above the Soul Pitch Wing 157 was a little too big for me but just right for Davey. The 152 would have been right up my alley.  You want to ride this a good bit smaller than your average freeride board. The new construction can handle my weight a lot better than the older Pitch Wing I tried back in 2019.

Here are some ideal US boot sizes for these boards. You can of course go bigger or smaller but these work best for not turning the board slower than it should be and not having the dreaded Toe & Heel Drag.
152: 8-10
157: 10-12

Shape/Camber/On Snow Feel/Ability Level

There is a very tapered, set back, directional, aggressive swallow tail shape to the Soul Pitch Wing. If there is some early rise it is so mellow its hard to detect. To us it felt like full on old school camber with a long nose. This makes for a very technical aggressive ride and it isn’t your typical turny swallow tail. It likes a lot of front foot weight when initiating the turn as well as throughout the turn. It will throw you off coming from many set back boards like this that like more of a back foot weighted turn. Just trust us and go all in with the front foot and set it up Posi like +27/+9 or more for it to really come alive.

Flex Personality

So the overall flex of the Soul Pitch Wing is medium stiff. Even the swallow tails are stiff and drivey. There is also a lot of energy inside this construction and it pops hard. What surprised us is it has that same pop of the older Soul Pitch Wing but not the chatter. This is soo much more damp with this new construction. It keeps the edge set in hard micro bumpy snow. I wouldn’t hesitate to power through softer messy snow either. There is an excellent balance between pop and dampness and I love this new construction.

Speed/Base Glide

The base of the new Soul Pitch Wing is pretty fast when waxed and it’s almost at the top. Even Davey at 240lbs found this to be very damp and really poised at high speed. Unlike many turny swallow tails this prefers a straight line or turns just shy of a straight line.

Edge Hold

Very solid grip and while it isn’t a full on ice specialist for average riders, the kind of rider that will buy this will have no problem keeping the edge set in any kind of snow.

Turning Experience/Carving

The Soul Pitch Wing isn’t for mellow turny riding. With a lot of front foot weight this just accelerates out of a down the line turn and sends you into the next turn faster than before. On most runs I could only link about 5 turns before having to speed check. This isn’t really a circle carver and it even fought me on tighter radius turns like an across the groomer carves. It is still soo rewarding to do what the Pitch Wing wants though. There is massive spring out of the turn.

Powder

You get the Soul Pitch Wing for carving and groomers but by no means do you have to put this away when it dumps. Yeah I’d rather be on the blower or O’Sin 4807 or even the Shift but this still has very competent float. It’s very wide, has -11.875” back from center of board at a 20.5” stance width when set all the way back, has a huge nose and a tapered swallow tail that will sink well.

Conclusion

So Davey loved the Soul Pitch Wing in a 157. I felt like the 157 was riding me instead of the other way around and would love to try the 152. This is a unique take on a hard charging carver and this flex personality is special. It isn’t for everyone but a technical ripper will get off on this.
