					<description><![CDATA[Location: Mammoth, CA and Boreal, CA Snow Conditions: Mostly hardpacked conditions with some soft spots. Setup: I rode the Zion Wonk with my Union Team bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 152cm. First Impression: The Wonk&#8217;s full of fun without paying a ton. Weight: Average. Flex: The Wonk is built for all mountain jibbing so it&#8217;s on the softer flexing side of the spectrum but it&#8217;s not a noodle in any means. The flex felt evenly throughout the board and with softer nose/tail so presses were easy. Torsionally softer with the thinner between the inserts so it engaged quickly but still a tad stiffer underfoot to handle the rest of the mountain. The Wonk features a negative camber profile between the bindings and a slight camber from the bindings out to the contact points. Turning: Easy to engage on edge thanks to the reverse camber and a multi-radius turning that helped keep the board engaging through carved turns. It was fine on both short and long radius turns. The edgehold was great, the hardpacked icy conditions didn&#8217;t stand a chance against this board and it held better than I thought it would. Stable: I can now see my [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every snowboarder starts out at the beginning, learning the basics and getting through those rough first days when it seems like you and the snow have become close friends.  With the re-introduction of reverse camber, it&#8217;s been brought up in comments and questions whether reverse camber is suitable for the beginners from day 1. The vast assortment of reverse cambers out there focus on a board that has contact points lifted up allowing for initiating turns easier and less catching of the edges when riding regardless of the rocker/reverse camber it features. Having lifted up contact points is ideal for beginners to learn on, in fact the Burton Learn to Ride Boards feature a beveled base and beveled edges so riders learn to control their boards without worrying about catching the edge.  However before reverse camber came along millions of snowboarders learned on camber just fine, but at the same time how many of those took a couple years and maybe some first day injuries before catching onto snowboarding? [singlepic id=6235 w=400 h=267 float=] Some companies (Lib, GNU, Never Summer) have fully dived into the rocker technology while others (K2) have taken a rounded approach and some have even taken [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t long ago that reverse camber/rocker technology was re-introduced to snowboarding, this New/Old technology came back at a time when we needed it and wanted something new.  Regardless of who did it first, it saved snowboarding. Now more companies for 09-10 have developed some kind of anti-camber into their snowboards, whether it&#8217;s rocker or reverse camber, flat or zero camber, TBT or BS, the choices are endless. These images that might help explain what your favorite company is doing for anti-camber next year as more companies are creating their own take to the anti-camber movement. I&#8217;ve ridden a lot of variations of rocker/reverse camber/flat boards this year and the best way to know what works for you is to demo it.  Some of these variations are quickly adaptable to and others take a day or two of riding before you become comfortable with it.  Of the boards I have ridden, no boards have rode the same. If you don&#8217;t see a company on here, let me know and I will try to get a better diagram to show what their technology is for 09-10. Arbor Snowboards Arbors take on the rocker revolution is designed around the system, a fusion [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you happened to be at SIA last week or at ISPO this week, you&#8217;ll notice that most every company now has two things&#8230;Eco and Reverse Camber. I&#8217;ll dive into my thoughts on both of these and what they mean for the industry, for snowboarding and it&#8217;ll be interesting to hear your input as well&#8230;what do you think about these two popular items in snowboarding. Eco Love for all? O-matic definitely has it right with the graphic that says &#8220;eco sells&#8221; on the topsheet. I don&#8217;t own a eco board and I honestly don&#8217;t really care to, I believe that eco is a state of mind&#8230;that if you want to go eco it&#8217;s the full nine yards, garden in the backyard, walk/bus to work and snowboarding, recycling gear&#8230;the list goes on.   Since I really do none of those steps I feel pretty confident that just cause I buy an eco friendly board that I&#8217;m still not doing shit for the environment. One board isn&#8217;t gonna change that you drive 2 hours to the mountain by yourself or use plastic grocery bags instead of your own re-usable cloth bags. I will say it&#8217;s great that products are being re-used but for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The brand New Nitro Sub Pop Features negative camber between the bindings with a flat base towards the tip and tail for a more skate orientated feel. In addition, the board features our DRIFTER BASE, which is a convex base shape in the binding area which blends into a flat base toward tip and tail. We were the first to offer this feature several years ago on the T0, and enhances rail performance. The base is &#8220;dished&#8221; .25 of an inch resulting in a looser feel and catch free jibbing. You can lean into your tricks like you do on your skateboard. The board construction will feature our RAIL KILLER EDGE, bombproof FH base and our all new COMBAT CORE, a highly flexible yet durable core consisting of ENGINEERED WOOD that is lighter, stronger and livelier than a standard wood core. Like all Nitro products the Sub Pop features a 2 year warranty. The Sub Pop will be featured in select shops in limited quantities beginning this Fall as an Early Introduction 2010 model. Bryan Fox and Josh Mills have been destroying HCSC all summer on this board. Look for the Sub Pop in early November. Available in sizes: 148cm, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Snowboard Mag has the Never Summer Press Release here Never Summer 09 &#8220;Recurve Camber&#8221; Boards The secret is out! Never Summer is stoked to present its all new, ‘Recurve Camber’ with ‘Vario Power Grip’ side-cut for 08/09. Rather than launching a different deck altogether, our extensive testing has led us to drive this insanely fun and functional technology into much of our existing lineup. This consists of SL, Legacy, Evo, Infinity and Revolver models&#8230;just adding an ‘R’ at end of names, and completely replacing the older versions. This Patent Pending technology will feature two cambered areas from the feet out toward the tip and tail and rockered under foot&#8230;giving riders crazy good response, power, pop, and stability that is NOT seen in other rockers! The new side-cut, ‘Vario Power Grip’, combines both deep and shallow radius to give unmatched response and edge hold like nothing else on the market. As if the technology isn’t enough to offer, we also managed to take a 1/4 to 1/2 pound off the previous year models making them some of the lightest boards anywhere! And don’t worry, we’re still standing behind our product with the only 3 year warranty in the industry. Check out [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[2008-2009 Never Summer SL R Update: Back at SIA, the SL was to be released as a regular cambered board. This has changed and now the SL for 08-09 season will be a reverse camber snowboard (Recurve Camber). Never Summer has their own patent pending recurve camber rocker with two cambered areas from the feet out toward the tip and tail and rockered under foot and a Vario Power Grip sidecut radius. Location: Majority of time at Steamboat, Colorado and Loveland, Colorado. Snow Conditions: Slush, hard packed, ice, bumps, groomed runs, powder Setup: I&#8217;ve been riding the Never Summer SL with my Rome Madison bindings and my Vans Omni Focus boots. First Impression: This was the first board I stepped on with the new NS rocker and sidecut&#8230;it was very interesting and took some adjustment to get used to it. However I was blown away by the new technology in comparing it to K2 and Lib Tech but with the NS style. Size: 158cmWeight: Average Flex: I&#8217;ve always liked the flex on the SL, it&#8217;s a really forgiving board and when you combine that with the dampening that NS has&#8230;you get a board meant for any condition, any rider and [&#8230;]]]></description>

First Impression: I&#8217;ve rode the Evo before and really loved it since it&#8217;s a stiffer twin board. With the new reverse camber it&#8217;s a lot more about fun. Size: 155cm Weight: Bit lighter than average. Flex: The evo is a stiffer freestyle board, but even then with the stiffness it has some good tail and nose flex. The flex of the evo really makes it a solid ride for halfpipe with enough absorption for coming back into the pipe. I liked that even with [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last year at SIA, two snowboard companies released snowboards with reverse camber. For 2008-2009 it looks like more companies will be releasing reverse camber or no camber combinations. Each company has their own style of reverse camber and each one rides completely different. Each style is also patent pending which explains why one company will not have the same style as another company. Each board designed with rocker is meant for different riding styles. Some rocker boards are powder specific while others are park specific. Check back as this post gets updated with more information as released. 6/17/08 I have rode/reviewed these boards for 08-09 that have rocker/reverse camber/no camber: 08-09 GNU B-pro BTX08-09 Lib Tech Phoenix BTX08-09 Lib Tech Riders Choice BTX08-09 Lib Tech Boxscratcher BTX08-09 Lib Tech McKink BTX08-09 Lib Tech TRS BTX08-09 Never Summer Evo R08-09 Never Summer SL R08-09 Never Summer Infinity R08-09 K2 Turbo Dream08-09 Burton Fix08-09 Burton Hero08-09 Capita Horrorscope FK08-09 Nitro Sub Pop08-09 Roxy Eminence BTXLib Tech Banana Technology &#8220;Banana Technology replaces camber with rocker “banana” between your feet.
