Rome Snowboard Design Syndicate

Okay, we’ll break down our position on the “Great Camber Debate” as simply as possible.

We design boards with positive camber, unique rocker cambers, and hybrid cambers for the simple reason that there are riders who like all types of camber. When it comes to camber, one size doesn’t fit all, so we don’t force-feed you one type and we don’t pressure you into one type or another. We give you freedom of choice.

Here are the simple facts. Some riders prefer positive camber. Some riders prefer rocker. Some riders prefer a combination of the two. And some riders prefer more than one type of camber depending on the type of riding they are doing. The Rome team reflects this diversity of perspective. Bjorn, Will and Paxson pretty much ride positive camber boards exclusively. LNP, Eiki, Lazz and MFR ride both rocker boards and positive camber boards, depending on what kind of feel they want or what trick they’re working on.

For this diversity of perspective, we say “fuck, yeah.” We embrace it all and we design for it all.

That’s our position on camber.

Stay Positive Camber

The riders who shred positive camber do it for the extra feeling of POP that it gives. These riders like the added pop of positive camber for springing off the lips of jumps, putting down the landing gear, spinning on to rails, slashing the fuck out of a wall of powder, or just snapping from edge to edge. It’s the added kick that they need in their snowboarding.

Poprock Technology Rocker Camber

The riders who shred Poprock rocker boards do it for the variations in playful, loose fun that our rocker camber profiles give. These riders like to throw press tricks super easily, float effortlessly in powder with a centered stance, butter and jib from top to bottom, and change directions at slow speeds. Poprock technology keeps that rocker playfulness as poppy as it can be.

Hybrid Camber

The riders who shred our Hybrid camber do it for its unique blend of both worlds that leans towards the poppy positive camber end of the spectrum. These riders like the added float in powder of rocker camber, but are still addicted that that feeling of pop off jumps and electric transfers from edge to edge.

Positive Camber

For those riders addicted to pop; positive camber loads up rider energy and kicks it back for a dynamic, lively feel and big ups

Reverse-Free Camber

For those riders who like running park laps as much as they like shredding pow lines; reverse camber extends just beyond the inserts with straight camber in the nose and tail for a board that butters, carves, floats and jibs

Reverse-Jib Camber

For those riders who prefer the park even on pow days; a flat profile between the feet and reverse camber from inserts to contact points for a board that takes pressing to a new level and delivers locked-on balance between the feet on rails

Reverse-MtnPop Camber

For those riders who like the best of both worlds; reverse camber between the feet keep it loose, playful and floaty, while positive camber in the nose and tail delivers a ton of pop and plenty of backbone for stomping big landings

Hybrid Camber

For those riders who love pop and powder; positive camber extends beyond the insert region and engages reverse camber when loaded up for quickness, power, and float

Powder S Camber

For those riders who love to surf the white wave; positive camber from the front binding to the tail and extended reverse camber in forebody creates maximum float with high slash-ability in the tail
