PRO QUOTE
"The 2008 Poison keeps you ripping on any wave. It’s light and nimble enough for the smallest rider, yet it carries enough grunt for the bigger guys. Powerful and solid, the Poison always promises a killer ride.” -- Ross Williams
“The ’08 Poison is the best edition yet. Shaping revisions move the draft forward putting the power directly into your hands. Bottom turns and high wind blasting, the 08 Poison is agile, yet potent in the lineup.” -- Matt Pritchard
