Verdict

The Book 2 doesn’t revolutionize the Book 1 formula; rather, it evolves it toward a more robust and structured design philosophy. It retains the qualities that made the first generation a success—a short feel, a snug fit, and stability—but the inconsistent user experience, particularly in terms of comfort depending on the colorway and materials, is its biggest challenge…

Key Points

A board that embodies the DNA of the " Book 1 ," featuring excellent short-board feel and great stability enhanced by a side fin.
An exposed midsole that allows the Cushlon 3.0 to function more effectively while controlling its compression with a thin lateral TPU strip.
The flatter, more angular sole geometry makes the heel-to-toe transition less natural, which can cause some slipping when attacking steep sol s. Dust off frequently.
A firmer sole structure overall.
Always has a very snug fit with a tapered shape at the forefoot. Fits true to size but takes some getting used to.
If you have wide feet, opt for mesh or even leather styles.
