What is the difference between camber, rocker, and concave decks?
Camber is used to describe a deck that has a slight arch lengthwise along the deck in its resting state. Numerous longer decks have this quality to counteract the rider’s body weight during riding. Rocker is just the opposite of camber and describes a board that bows toward the ground. This gives the rider a lower center of gravity while riding. Lastly, concave refers to a board with its sides turned up at slight angles. This aids in foot traction by not allowing your feet to slide off the board as easily. Concave boards are generally used in situations where the rider will be making more aggressive moves.
