$349 Intermediate to Expert Freestyle Jib Twin Hybrid Camber Shape 2009 Good Wood Award winner The Rossignol Retox has been in the Good Wood's graces before and even though it isn't in the top 10 now it's still a great Jib board. The price is good as well. There are some boards in this price range that have extruded bases but the Retox has Rossignols higher end sintered base. It's not going to keep up on the groomers unless you want to jib around the mountain but it will allow you more speed when you need it in the jib park. For 2011 they added their hybrid camber tech which we are big fans of. It makes for a slightly more stable and semi-popy ride. The 2011 is the call over the 2010. For 2012 The Retox still rides very similar to the 2011 and it's still an awesome jib board.
The Good Ride Take on Hybrid Camber For the most part there are two types of hybrid camber that we see out there these days. 1. Mostly Rocker Hybrid Camber This type of ride, like many boards, has camber and rocker but unlike other rockered boards the center has a mini camber. This is usually 1-3mm high, sits only between the bindings and then curves up right after. From a distance this board looks like a rocker board but when you look closer you see the little camber between the feet. This is not as loose as hybrid rocker but it’s very close. It is very stable between the feet and easy to one foot or flat base in any condition out there. Mostly Rocker Hybrid Camber is very versatile. You will see this design on anything from Freestyle to Freeride style snowboards. This will work well with all ability levels and riding styles.
2 Mostly Camber Hybrid Camber There are all types of designs but this type usually looks like a Camber board and rides much closer to an old school Camber board. ONe thing you will notice is usually when you step on the board the tip and tail rise up a lot more than a normal camber board will. Some are mostly camber and others have a bit more rocker but you will always notice they have camber. This allows for a stable, fast carve friendly feeling you get with camber but also makes it more catch free and floaty in powder. This doesn't float effortlessly like hybrid rocker, mostly rocker hybrid camber or flat to rocker but it does better than camber. You will mainly see this on aggressive freestyle to all mountain to freeride style snowboards.

Rossignol Retox 2010 Description
The 0809 Good Wood award winning Retox returns for 0910 with graphics straight from the mind of Ben Frost. We've added a new 150cm size to the mix and other than that left perfection alone. From its unique shape to its twisted graphics there's nothing cookie cutter about this board.
