Really weird profile

By Dogfunk.com Employee June 4, 2012

I bought this board last year and noticed some things about it that I didn't like. Because of the profile of the board I noticed it is a little more difficult to ride flat and straight on the groomers compared to a regular camber board. I also found that I do need to set my stance back a little bit (which is a huge disappointment to me). The final thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't seem to want to respond very well to turning in the deep powder. I noticed I have to use my hand and drag it on the snow a lot more than my Banana board to turn which makes it a little scary in the trees. I will be selling my Reverb Rocker and will be getting the Signal Rocker Lite for next winter. Other than that it is fun in the park and butters well.
