Elan Vertigo Snowboard Review
Vertigo_Top_HR_600x117
$599
Expert Freeride, Big Mountain and Boardercross
 Elan Makes a wide spectrum of snowboards and does most of them rather well.  The Elan Vertigo is a hard carving, mean, freeride board that is made for speed and for serious riders only.  You have to be on your game to get this type of board to perform.  If you are an intermediate rider and want a big fast board go with something else.  This will screw up your riding.   If you Boarder X then you might be familiar with the Vertigo.  Elan makes good mid priced boards and like Nidecker they aren't very well known in the US.  If you can find a Vertigo and you are the type of rider that can handle it then buy it.  You won't be disappointed.  It is a direct competitor to the Arbor A Frame and  Nidecker Platinum. They are all very similar in size and shape, have serious speed and are very stiff.  The Vertigo and Platinum are almost identical in terms of performance and shape.  The A-Frame is a little different but accomplishes almost the same riding style.
