Today Was the first day out for the season for me, and the first time riding rockered condors. I have always been a Slapdash kind of guy. The KTPs seemed too wide, and the ALPS too long. I decided to try the rockered condors, the 0 camber and tip/tail rocker made me think they may not behave like one may think. I couldn't be any more right.
These things made me fall in love with skiboarding all over again, like the first time I strapped on a pair in 2004. They blasted through the heavy slush and ruts no problem. The rocker / 0 camber is perfect for laying huge carves with little effort. The rocker allows you to really push your weight forward and pressure those front edges without worrying about hooking a rut and tomahawking down the hill. Beware as these are very soft, and if you have that classic ski stance / turn style. These FORCE you to ski properly. There is no backseat sliding on these without doing a surprisingly fun tail butter. People every run commented on them, more so then regular skiboards because of their sheer size.
They ski like a 98 and are stable like a 170. Best of both worlds.
In the Park they were super fun buttering and sliding rails/boxes. Coming out fakie makes things much easier as the tails are soft if you land backseat. Again skiers came up to me and told me how sick they were.
I found a skiboard I will probably ski for the rest of my ski life.
When the powder comes, I know these will slay even harder. If they were this good in the park and slush, imagine their performance in what they were made for...the powder.
I will get some videos and pictures out immediately. Today was the first day of the season and it was super foggy so I didn't take out the camera. Here is a picture of the flex!

If you don't get anything else from this review at least get this: BUY ROCKERED CONDORS!
