looking for the right rocker

Posted: 06 March 2011 06:55 AM

Hey guys im looking for a new board for next season, i ride a “ride decade” now and it’s a great board but stiff and with all the new rocker technologies im sold and really want a rocker board.  there just seems like there are so many out there.  id like a good all around board i really enjoy the park rails and jumps etc… but i also love riding through the trees and hiking back country.  id like a board with great pop and flex but something that can shred the powder no problem.  i was looking at the rome garage rocker and that looked pretty good but again im still unsure.  Any ideas?? thanks

Hi cbear,
you should keep in mind that a board that rocks on rails and in the park will probably never float as well in pow as some allmountain-freeride boards do.
Still, there is one board coming to my mind which should be quite perfect for your needs as it is something in between all of what you mentioned: The K2 Turbodream. It’s fully rockered so floats in pow like heaven and is still able to bring it down in the park because of its intermediate flex.

Check it out and let me know what you think, Cheers Tobi
