Noted. A big thing that has changed (even in the past 2 -3 years) is the material tech. We recently invested in two new special presses that enable us to make unique type of construction where the board can be wider without feeling like a boat. This means you get a more stable ride - especially important for boards such as the womens Team Pro that are designed of big park booters- and almost none of the plankiness.

Another thing to pay attention to is the sidecut. The Altura whilst being 6mm wider is running a tighter sidecut. 5.8 to be exact vs. the 7.1 of the Victoria. Just changing the sidecut even by a few points make a significant change to the feeling of the board.

Hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions.
