VICE SQD
Playful Twin-Tip Rocker for ambitious park rats
No doubt the Vice SQD incorporates the successful basics features of the traditional Squad series But there is something new to add The True Twin-Tip Sidecut with Rocker Shape. A wider nose and tail provide consistent edge hold when turning and therefore offer a stable and smooth ride. Not to mention the integrated Shock Absorber and V-Flex fiberglass weave that kick in when you are attacking park kickers and need a strong board. Thanks to Premium Carbon weave, the board features a snappy pop for jibbing.
In short The Vice SQD is an easy-to-control board with a stiffer flex, playful Rocker performance and average pricing
Rocker Shape Concept
Rocker is a well-established term among surfers, snowboarders and wakeboarders. It describes a board shape that incorporates a negativereverse camber. Boards with a conventional camber feature two contact points when the board is lying flat on the ground, one in the nose and the other one in the tail. Due to the Rocker Shape's negative camber the board touches the ground at one point only, which is in the middle of the board. Nose and tail are floating in the air. The length of this flat section between the bindings of freestyle and freeride boards varies according to the rest of the shape profile and intended use. As early as in the 80s the ski and snowboard industry had come up with the first construction attempts of such a shape. 201011 is when Vlkl Snowboards deliver an entire concept behind the current trend a concept that is based on state-of-the-art laboratory tests and years of experience and know-how. Theoretically, such shapes provide better flotation in powder snow and are generally easy-to-turn and playful. However if you just try to re-curve a conventional board shape, the board loses its dampening properties and edge hold. This is why all other parameters have to be re-adjusted too.
