New for 2014, the Fischer Big Stix 100 takes the place of the old Big Stix 98. In addition to the two extra millimeters underfoot, the all-new shovel geometry and rocker profile are great when things get a little deeper. One tester found that those attributes, along with a fair amount of camber underfoot, gave it “an incredible combination of stability and playfulness.” The full wood core with Air Carbon Tech and sandwich sidewall construction means you’re getting a solid, lively ride without too much weight. Take a pair for a spin and you’ll see what we mean.
