If you want playful i.e loose and less catchy then go with the RC one (oh, and rocker is reverse camber :) )

It’s not the lightest board around, but it’s pretty decent.  For playfulness and for a similarly price-point board you might want to think of the new 2012 DC PLY or maybe Capita’s Horrorscope (though this is a touch softer than either of those).

In the end it will come down to your preference. If you like pressing and buttering around the place then the rocker may be your option, but if you like charging pistes then the camber might help you rail turns more and some jib kids seem to prefer camber when hitting rails because they feel more locked in.

Yes after a day or two i realized that the reverse camber IS the rocker!:) silly me..Anyway thanks a lot for your reply mate!I think i will have to go with the rocker one.I like doing presses and butters rather than rails and curbs.I am not really a fun of slides so it wouldn’t be a bummer.

And i will check your suggestions too.

Thanks again!:) Cheers!
