Snowboard Profiles

A snowboard’s profile is based on what the board looks like when it’s lying on a flat surface and you look at it from the side. Just like shape and flex, profile is important for the type of riding you want to do. Different profiles are better for freestyle, freeriding, etc. and they’re all based on these two profiles:

• Camber boards tips and tails are turned upward and the middle of the board doesn’t touch the ground.

• Rocker boards also have an upward turned tip and tail, but the middle of the board does touch the ground.

Camber

The Camber board has an upturned tip and tail and the middle of the board doesn’t make contact with the ground. This gives it edge hold, pop, and stability on groomed trails or hardpack. If you’re looking for speed, the Camber is most likely the profile for you.

Original Rocker Camber

The OG Rocker Camber has a camber tip and tail, which means the tip and tail of the board are each turned upward. The Rocker profile between the feet makes the board touch the ground right in its middle. This is a mellow board that’s not as aggressive or surfy as the profiles below.

Ripsaw Rocker Camber

The Ripsaw Rocker Camber profile has deeper camber pockets on the tip and tail for enhanced edge hold, response, stability, precision, and pop, while featuring the same rocker section between the feet as the Original Rocker Camber. The Ripsaw profile is more aggressive and ideal for a hard charging, while still maintaining forgiveness and float.

Fusion Rocker Camber

The Fusion Rocker Camber is a combination of the Original Rocker Camber and the Ripsaw Rocker Camber. The tip and tail are turned upward more than the OG Rocker Camber but less than the Ripsaw Rocker Camber, and the Rocker profile gives it that touchpoint to the ground right in the middle of the board. This gives the board a more surfy feel.

Shock Wave Rocker Camber

The Shock Wave Rocker Camber has extended Camber profile zones in the tip and tail and has a decreased Rocker profile between the feet. This makes the board have fewer touch points to the ground than the above profiles, giving it more edge hold, response, and pop.

Touring Ripsaw Rocker Camber

The Touring Ripsaw Rocker Camber is utilized for backcountry touring. It provides greater traction for the ascent while maintaining the effectiveness of Rocker Camber on the descent.

Triple Camber

Game changing innovation. The center rocker of our patented Rocker Camber profile is now a third camber area flanked by two small rockers. The result is a completely balanced ride not found in any other profile. Triple Camber makes the most efficient use of your entire edge. The primary edge hold starts from the center of the board. It’s insanely responsive and stable and aids the high performance engagement of the two outside camber areas located under your feet. The overall Rocker Camber shape retains the playful and forgiving feel. Balanced vice-like edge hold, rocket launching pop, and insane butterability. Game changed.

Triple Camber Fusion

The Triple Camber Fusion profile features a third camber area flanked by two small rockers coupled with an Early Rise Transition Area in the nose. The result is a completely balanced ride not found in any other profile. Triple Camber makes the most efficient use of your entire edge. The primary edge hold starts from the center of the board. It’s insanely responsive and stable and aids the high performance engagement of the two outside camber areas located under your feet. The overall Rocker Camber shape retains the playful and forgiving feel. Balanced vice-like edge hold, rocket launching pop, and insane butterability. Game changed.

Triple Camber Twin

Triple Camber built for freestyle. The center rocker of our patented Rocker Camber profile is now a third camber area flanked by two small rockers built into a twin. Get the most out of your edge with triple camber in a twin. It’s insanely responsive and stable. The board will lock in between the feet on rails with this twin triple camber profile. Balanced vice-like edge hold, rocket launching pop, and insane butterability.
