● Camber
When viewed from the side, the sliding surface is arched, and when placed on a flat surface, there is a gap around the center of the sole.This gap is called the "camber amount".Since the area around the front and rear shoulders is strongly pressed against the snow surface, the turn bites strongly and the ollie returns strongly.
● Zero camber / flat camber
The sliding surface is flat when viewed from the side, and there is no gap when placed on a flat surface.This is called because the camber amount is zero.Since the feet are strongly pressed against the snow surface, the operability is lighter than that of the camber.On the other hand, there are some that have a weaker bite on the edge.
● Reverse camber / rocker
When viewed from the side, the sliding surface has an inverted arch shape, and the front and back of the sliding surface are greatly warped. It is called "reverse camber" because the "camber amount" is negative, or "rocker board" because the entire sliding surface is a rocker.The operability is light because the nose and tail are weakly pressed, and it is slippery even if the snow surface is rough.
● Double camber
When viewed from the side, there are two arched sliding surfaces, and two cambers are provided.If you step hard, you can get a strong edge hold like a camber, and if you step weakly, you can get a light operability of the rocker board.
● Camber locker / hybrid
"Hybrid" means "mixed".As the name suggests, when viewed from the side, the center of the board is a camber, and the outside from the feet is a rocker structure.During the turn, the camber feels solid, and when you are sliding flat, you can get a loose operability that is not too nervous for the rocker.
About the functionality of the board
● Swing weight
Inertial weight of the plate when spun.In the trick model, the nose, tail, and other parts far from the center are made lighter to achieve light movement.
● Torsion
The ease with which a snowboard can be twisted. Expressing "strong torsion" and "weak torsion", it is directly linked to the ease of turning.Beginners are easier to operate if the torsion is weak.
● Flex
The ease of bending of a snowboard. "Flex is hard" and "flex is soft", and usually "board is hard" and "board is soft" means flex.It enables a hard and powerful ollie and speeds up, but it requires skill and power.Soft things are easy to operate and comfortable to ride.
