The intention for the XY was to blend the masculine with the feminine. The width is for deep carving, the length is ideal for deeper conditions and steeper terrain, the side-cut is meant to feel natural and gentle from turn to turn and the nose and tail are designed to maximize all of these features. A board that can smile at the devil, glide smoothly at high speeds and gently caress every curve of the mountain.

The 153 is a scaled down model of Alex Yoder's XY. It inherits the unique riding feel of the original XY on both groomers and powder alike, but in a more compact package. With the new bottom profile specifically designed for this model, it allows more freedom of control in 3D terrain for smaller riders while still being able to enjoy the smooth signature turns and deep carves of the 57 XY.
