The Smokin’ MIP with dirt rocker technology for women, far left in the Vixen, $450, and second from right in shape of the men’s Superpark Disco Limited, $420, feature a flat section between the feet but curved up ends, making for a stable ride that still incorporates some of the powder advantages of rocker boards. The women’s Gnu B-Street Banana Traction, second from left, $470, and the Never Summer Evo-R, far right, $450, have a wavy, serrated edge that helps add traction that is often lost with rocker boards. “The biggest thing going off right now is the whole rocker or banana thing,” The Click’s Philip Johnson said. “Every company calls it something different and does it a little bit differently. Some of them have it figured out, some of them don’t. “Some people argue you lose things and you need to have camber in your snowboard to feel certain things, but I say if you’re having fun and if you’re able to do it, who cares what you’re on?”
