It is very easy to get confused by all the brand specific names for their snowboard camber technology, where you have names going from lowrize rocker to EC2BTX. This is a visual guide to some of the big brands and shows you the different camber shapes that they are offering.

Burton Camber Types

Traditional Camber

The traditional style of camber keeps great edge hold for high speed turning and stability. Camber boards give the most pop.

V Rocker

The V Rocker has rocker shape in between your feet, which continues outside your feet to the tip and tail, which give a loose playful feeling.

S Rocker

The aim of S Rocker boards is float, and the large on the nose keeps you afloat, while compressed the camber helps lift the nose even more.

Flying V

A Springloaded blend of camber and rocker performance, Flying V™ offers the best of both worlds. Rocker overall, including between and outside your feet, enhances playfulness and float through pow. Underneath your feet, subtle camber zones focus edge-control for crisp snap, added pop, and power through turns.

Flat Top
