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.

Rocker Camber

The Original Rocker Camber profile was innovated and first patented by Never Summer in 2008, changing the snowboard industry forever. The overall rocker profile provides a surfy and playful feel while camber on nose and tail provide superior performance and versatility, creating the perfect balance for all mountain performance.

Hybrid Triple Camber

Hybrid Triple Camber is a game changing innovation. The center rocker of our patented Rocker Camber profile now contains a third camber area creating two small high pressure rocker sections on either side. The result is R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology, a powerful edge hold tech without the drag of serrated edges and a balanced ride not found in any other profile. Hybrid 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 Hybrid rocker shape retains the effortless float, playful and forgiving feel, vice-like edge hold, rocket launching pop, and insane butterability. Game changed.

Recurve Triple Camber

"Take what is traditional and revolutionize it" is how we engineered Recurve Triple Camber - our newest innovation. Triple Camber arched into a powerful traditional camber creates an absolute beast of a snowboard profile. Recurve brings you the ultimate, energetic all mountain feel of traditional camber while giving you an easier ride and more powerful edge hold, made possible by Triple Camber's R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology. This profile dominates all over the mountain and on all different variations of snow. Give Recurve Triple Camber a try and see how we changed the game once again.
