RVL8 2025 Playmaker "REVOLT SEI" Collab 107cm Skiboards

If you're not familiar with Talon Sei and his "Stuff & Things" YouTube channel you're in for a treat. From firearms to electric skateboards, from skiboards to motorcycles, from beard care to van life, Talon's interests and expertise know no bounds. RVL8 is proud to have collaborated again in 2025 with Talon and new RVL8 artist Mark James of NTX Graphics.
The Playmaker model was created with input from The Skiboard Connection, Austin Wuchter and Alan Newtson. It's been 13 years since RVL8 released the first pair of zero camber, rockered skiboards ever made, and since then each pair of RVL8 zero camber boards have been geared toward increasing powder float, meaning wide with a soft flex. The Playmaker is RVL8's first zero camber, rockered skiboard with a very stiff flex. While the stiff flex will reduce powder float somewhat it will greatly improve edge hold on hard snow and ice. And the 8.4mm over 20cm tip/tail rocker will enable the Playmaker to float even the heaviest rider through powder and variable snow. This is the closest RVL8 as come to creating a one skiboard quiver since the Spliff. The question will inevitably be "how does it compare to the Spliff?". Unlike the Playmaker, the 109cm Spliff has camber and a little bit of rocker which makes it better for carving on hard snow but makes it not as good as the Playmaker in powder and soft snow. This isn't so important for riders under 175lbs but once the rider weight exceeds 200lbs the Playmaker will greatly outperform the Spliff in soft snow while still being able to hold on edge on harder snow. In addition, the Playmaker comes standard with 4x4+2 inserts which means you can mount any pair of 4x4 compatible bindings centered or 4cm back, for even more powder float. If you need one pair of skiboards to handle just about any conditions the Playmaker is the one.
