What are some jib boards that come with pre rounded (detuned edges) or is a 2-3 bevel better?

Just do it yourself it isn't that hard.

That being said I don't know of any boards off the top of my head.

I know arbor had a board with softer edges and i think k2 or someone used to have a board with some sort of catch-free gimmick for rails.

Echelon boards with the 3D base (basically the Omatic BS base) have fully raised edges to stop you catching on jibs. I dont have a before/after to compare but i have eaten shit on a box when my edge caught on a bur with my last board; but havent caught on anything this year, despite sliding over something sharp enough to put a big scratch through my base.

The raised edges take a bit to get used to though. I spent a few runs boarding like a complete beginner, barely able to make turns, until i realised how much more angle you need to put into it to get an edge. Absolutely love it now though, started being able to land backside 360s on flat - something i could never do before
