NS Raptor RC shape - Snowboarding Forum

freshy · 02-17-2011, 10:18 AM

So I have been eying some NS decks, daydreaming of the day I got money to burn. But the diectional RC shape they mention for that board kind of confuses me, wish they had a side profile picture, or a schematic showing where the camber and rocker actually are. All the site says is camber in the front and rocker in the back basically. In my mind it would make more sense to have camber in the back and rocker in the front...Anyway anyone ever ridden this board, or can someone post a pic of the side profile or something?

It's just their rocker-camber profile. Rocker between the feet with camber at the tips and tail. I believe the stance is set back just a bit. Not as much as the Summit. There are definitely some minor tweaks with profile say compared to a Heritage. It straightlines much better than the Heritage which really just loves to turn.
