The Telos Legend is an all-mountain twin, with a mid flex that is made to ride a bit of everything. I really liked this board, and even though I only planned to ride this board for a couple of days, I ended up riding it for a week straight.

A few years ago I had ridden the 173cm model (pictured below), and while that is still quite a bit bigger than most boards I had ridden, the 203 beats it in every way.

The Jones Stratos isn’t a cheap board, but it does everything it says it will really well, and can pretty much justify the price.
