and Thanks to the centered rocker this will be enough to make it a great board for powder as well.Ĭons: NA except if you are 100% jib, butters you can find a better suited board for that category The pop is usually better than on a CamRock board. Pros:Stability during high speed cruising and solid landing as well as excellent pop for ollies while the rocker gives good control for presses. Rocker-Camber: a light rocker between the bindings and a bit of camber between the tips and bindings (don't rise your eyebrow, it is the exactly what you are thinking of: the contrary of a cam-rock). Tech name: Nidecker CamRock, Yes snowboard, Salomon Wingtips (very light rocker just contact points that have been raised), Rome HybridCamber, Signal Wavelength, K2 catchfree Pros: like a camber board except gives a bit of a looser feel, better playfulness as well as flotation in powderĬons: Bit less playful, not as great in powder than reverse camber, flat camber or powder rocker Tech name: Rome Reverse-MTN, Omatic B.S (+beveled edges is another real important factor giving additional charactheristic), Lib Tech Banana BTXĬam-rock: like a standard camber board except it is less pronounced and you add a bit of rocker between the tips and bindings Pros: good blend of control on edge and playfulness, good powder rideĬons: less pop than camber boards or rocker-camber boards Tech name: Lib Tech Banana, Salomon Pre-sure Rocker, Forum Chilly dog, Technine 9Rocks reverse camber, Flow I-rock ( except flat camber at the tip/tail on the contact points)Ĭentered Rocker:A long mid-body of reverse camber combined with straight camber in the nose and tail. May lack pop (but can be compensated by the core and glass tech). Loose a bit of initiation and turn exit control at higher speed. It creates a more playful rideĬons: lack stability and edge control giving it a twitchy feel. Great if you want a board specially for practicing your rail killing skills and butter like nobody's business. Pros: Ease for initiating turns and presses.
Reverse camber: Rocker the whole length of the board. Note:Bataleon TBT uses a positive camber but has a triple base technology which gives a lot of added benefits, one of them is that the contact points are raised. Tech name: Lib Tech Banana (I am just kidding) Rome positive camber, K2 camber, etc.
Pros: transition for edge to edge, control at higher speed, pop, chance to reposition yourself during XXL landingĬons: takes more effort on the legs to do presses, less forgiving for normal under/over rotated landing, shorter butters, difficult to lock presses. Standard camber: convexe arc between the two contact points (parts that touch the ground when the board lays flat).what dinausaur like me have ridden for most of snowboarding life. The best is to try boards and if you can't, try to read reviews, call customer service from the brands you are interested in. But hopefully I can make your search easier, that is the only purpose of this post. So even if you are looking at two boards with the same base technology, they may not react the same at all. Well sorry but it is like having a car with a Ferrari engine and tires that are used for a French moped, you are not going to go very far. By now you must think holly it is already confusing enough (for most snowboarders) to think about the cambers so there are way too many parameters!!! You have to look at the glass technology (stiffness, flex, torsion), wood core (pop,how lively and responsive), sidecut (edge hold, transition from edge to edge), the base tech (beveled base, etc.),and the overall construction. There are a lot of different reverse cambers and before going over those, it is important to note that others ingredients are critical in making a board perform well.
