I have had the chance to ride all the new designs at SIA's on snow demo this past year.

HAHAHAHAHA The Winter Park demo oh man. That was the worst demo ever negative 30 degree temps on snow that was so abrasive you couldn't get going once off the chairlift. Winter Park is such a shitty resort too. Sorry your validity went out the window man as that demo sucked so much I said fuck it and went and sat around a heater when I typically would ride 8 decks a day. Even the company owners and reps said the same thing not a good three days to demo anything.

As far as the people complaining about rocker, reverse camber, hybrid sounds like you guys just can't ride to begin with. But different strokes for different folks ride what you like but at least have some valid points.

Camber isn't better in pow that's the truth. Even S camber which moves the position to your back foot allowing you to weight it and raise the nose up isn't as good as its other counter parts.

And yes WP demo sucks and is completely unfair to judge anything at. Sounds like you did the one run and done method I know many people that do that at those demos.

The SIA winter park demo was fine the first day and freaking cold the 2nd. Last year was amazing, except we needed snow.

S camber is OK, I ride the barracuda and enjoy it.

Actually camber is better in pow (with taper). Have you checked out surfboard design, specifically, rocker design and function? A heavily rockered board will be quicker to turn, but slower down the line.

Also, camber allows the whole board to rise up and "plane" faster.

It was negative 25 the first day and negative 31 the second both days sucked, I know I was there.

You're still wrong about camber and pow anyone will tell you that whether pro or not. I owned a 64 Summit and have 67 Summit R. The R flies faster in pow, takes less back leg work, and planes a hell of a lot faster. That's not even in CO blower pow that's in heavy NW cascade concrete. Both have the exact same shape even in length the 67 when you measure it is closer to a 65 so 1cm of difference. My Turbo Dream same thing faster than a cambered or even flat board, Gyrator same thing. Smokin KT-22 With D.i.r.t. rocker same thing. I literally have ridden just about everything out there in pow, camber is obsolete unless you're in some wind blown crap that's iced over on a rock field and you're just billy goating ollies from stop to stop and even then that's 99% the rider.

I'm all for different strokes for different folks and whatever tickles your pickle. But man don't try to use some fucktarded bullshit logic that isn't true. Next you'll be saying you can't hit a jump on any form of alt camber either. It all comes down to the rider and knowing how to ride stuff. Alt camber changes how you ride a board instead of loading the camber and driving that contact point into the snow to grip you steer right under foot like a skateboard. I'm riding a technine jibstick with flat rock right now and still had no problem hitting jump 5 in Parklane or laying a turn down at mach 10 speeds yesterday.
