Rop is best known for his striking watercolor animals, and for this edition the boards have a different feline graphic for each board size, creating a wild collection of cats to shred the mountain. ropvanmierlo.nl
Beyond the graphics, whilst the Whatever’s outline looks immediately directional, its contact surface is actually that of a twin making it well suited to everything from park days to hot laps to powder lines. And it's a versatile design that works for everyone - Unisex with a large range of size options to suit riders of all weights. A freestyle orientated board with the flexibility to make the whole mountain a playground.
All boards come waxed and laminated.
