2021 RVL8 BluntXL 100cm Skiboards

2021 100cm RVL8 BluntXL Skiboards

In 2014 RVL8 Skiboards introduced the 88cm Blunt Rockered skiboards, and it was an immediate success. Riders were amazed at how such a small set of skiboards could pack such an amazing amount of performance. A combination of flex, rocker, width and sidecut combined to help riders feel an amount of freedom and mountain awareness previously not achieved. A year later, taking cues from the Blunt, RVL8 introduced the Blunt XL. At 100cm and with more pronounced rocker, the Blunt XL offers even more performance and reward than it's little brother while still maintaining that nimble, maneuverable feel you expect from skiboards. The new Blunt XL's graphic design is by veteran RVL8 artist Martin Azevedo. View the feedback from the Forum Community on the new Blunt XL.

Why is rocker so awesome? What does it do for you? 
Rocker offers increased float in powder! - With rocker, your tips will float up in powder and crud. The feel is smooth and just like when you surf, wakeboard or waterski, rocker helps you to stay buoyant and on top of the snow. You're able to maintain a more balanced riding stance which saves energy and improves your reaction time.
Rocker is more maneuverable - 
Rocker brings the tip and tail up and off the snow, shortening the contact length of the edges and making turns easier. Your ride becomes more nimble and maneuverable, allowing your to pivot and "slarve" without catching edges. You can slash the snow, slide sideways to scrub speed, smear and butter turns. The increased mobility works great when you are in the trees or tight chutes.
Rocker makes park riding a dream - 
With rocker technology your skiboards are pre-pressed which makes riding presses in the park easier. The less-catchy nature of a rockered skiboards allows you to initiate your spins early and gives you greater ability to recover from off-axis landings and under-spun airs.
Who should/can ride rockered skiboards? 
Everyone can ride rockered skiboards and have fun. That's the beautiful thing about rocker technology. You can be a beginner or advanced rider, young or old, and benefit from riding rocker skiboards. Rocker is an easier and more fun ride.
Where does rocker technology excel on the mountain? 
With the possible exception of icy, pure competition environments, there are rocker skiboards meant to excel in every type of skiboarding.
