Rocker Guide - What is "Rocker" and why does it matter?
In 2003, we had one rockered option available - the beloved Volant Spatula;
this year we offer over 150 rockered models in our rocker skis and rocker
snowboards categories for every level of rider. We've been amped for years
on the concept and can't wait for everyone to experience a rockered ride.
This article describes exactly what rocker is and what type is best suited
for your riding style or terrain. Tune in as we break it down real simple.
What is Rocker? There are three ingredients ski / snowboard shape:
Camber – Camber is the traditional shape for skis and snowboards. Camber is
a slight arching upward curve with the bend or curve upward in the middle.
A good example of camber is the Burton Clash Snowboard. Camber provides
excellent turn initiation and handling on on-piste slopes.

Rocker – Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber
turned upside down. This term is borrowed from watersports where rocker is
common. A good example of a ski that has Rocker is the Volkl Chopstick Skis,
where the ski is an upside-down arch, neither camber nor flat. Reverse
camber skis and snowboards offer superior float in the powder and are best
when used for backcountry, big mountain powder riding.

Flat – Flat is often found between the tip and the tail of the ski/
snowboard. It is horizontally level or even. The base is flat like a
pancake. Completely flat technology can be found in the ladies K2 Eco Pop
Snowboard.

These three properties: camber, rocker, and flat are combined in a variety
of ways to create an array of choices for both skiers and snowboarders.
Important note - You will hear rocker referred to many ways, including but
not limited to: reverse camber, inverse camber, banana, early rise, s-rocker
, gull wing, three stage rocker, negative camber, R.C. Technology, Rocker 6,
elf shoe, chilly dog, and of course, my favorite, the Young-Whippersnapper'
s-Powder-Slaying-Weapon.
So where is the rocker? – Rocker technology differs by manufacturer as well
as type of ski/snowboard. Rocker in skis and snowboards may be located in
the tip and/or tail. Many skis and snowboard feature some medley of rocker,
flat, and cambered sections to achieve the desired ride. You will find skis
and boards with one of these or all three.
Why is rocker so awesome? What does it do for you?
- Rocker offers increased float in the powder! – With rocker, your tips
will float up in powder and crud. The feel is smooth and just like when you
surf, wakeboard or waterski, rocker helps you to stay on top of the snow.
On skis, no need to do all that ridiculous bouncing and leaning back to keep
your tips up in the powder. On a snowboard, your tip sits up higher out of
the snow so you can avoid those face plants over your nose. Since your tips
are already in an upward position you are able to maintain a more balanced
riding stance and you don’t have to lean back to float as you do on a
traditional shaped ski or snowboard. Cliff drop landings are super soft with
rocker. Like a pillow! You don't even feel it!
- Rocker is more maneuverable - Rocker technology moves the contact points
on the ski or board, basically shortening your effective edge. Your ride
becomes more nimble and maneuverable, which allows you to pivot more easily
and you’ll no longer catch edges like crazy. You can slash the snow, slide
sideways to scrub speed, smear and butter turns. Turning more quickly works
great when you are in the trees.
- Rocker makes park riding a dream - With rocker technology your skis/board
is pre-pressed which makes riding presses in the park easier. Lock onto and
slide rails with rocker boards. You can actually hit the butter box with
style since your ride is less catchy. The less catchiness nature of the ski
/board allows you to initiate your spins early and gives you greater ability
to recover more easily from off axis landings.
- Rocker offers tons of style points - Everyone looks at you funny in the
lift line and asks why your skis or snowboard are sticking up in the air and
not sitting on the ground. You just tell them rocker will change your life.
Who should/can ride rockered skis and snowboards?
Everyone can ride rockered skis and snowboards and have fun. That is a
beautiful thing about rocker technology. You can be a beginner or advanced
rider, young or old, and benefit from riding rocker skis or snowboard. Even
Shilo Jones (evo’s president) can ride rocker! Rocker is an easier and
more fun ride. Just remember there are many variations in rocker type, go
with the style that will fit the type of riding you want to do.
Where does rocker technology excel on the mountain?
There are a variety of different blends of rocker technology available
between skis and snowboards that excel specifically in certain conditions –
everywhere from pipe and park to hard pack or the deepest powder.

纯rocker的carve不了
非纯rocker的all mountain只是指能carving,效果当然不能跟传统的carving
ski比。carving功能取决于camber and side cut.
如果reverse camber, 指没有传统camber,在groom道上会很痛苦.
追求carving的话,还是买racing ski吧.现在也有带小rocker的
