#25-26 ROCKET FISH

Product Features

・ CAPTAINS HELM's choice: GENTEMSTICK ALTERNATIVE SERIES "ROCKET FISH"

Responsive and wide, it floats on powder snow, and its beautiful fish tail-based outline is eye-catching. Its design perfectly matches our surfing style.

・Maximum nose width and buoyancy, short length for super quick movement

・B Strong bounce thanks to boost stringers, and a flexible fishtail with a deep slit

・The tight, high-center-of-gravity frame design provides excellent handling, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from city riding to outdoor activities.

・The short and super fat outline creates deeper carves than any other board, making the perceived speed incredibly fast.

・ The riding image of this board overlaps with the image of riding fast waves down the line. It swims around on banks and natural pipes just like on the waves, doesn't lose speed on groomed runs, and bounces around the mountains carving so hard your elbows and chin get scraped.

・The Rocket Fish snowboard for snowsurfers is a masterpiece of ultra-shortboard design.

[ ACCEL CAMBER 】

The Accel Camber was designed by Taro Tamai in 1998 and was introduced in the 2000 Speedmaster, which was released for test sale and added to the 2001-2002 models. Conventional camber (bend) applies equal pressure to the entire edge during turns, resulting in smoother, more stable carving and turning. The camber extends approximately 3cm from the front to the center of the board, extending from its widest point. Pressing this camber against the snow surface with weight enables turning. While effective on two-dimensional (flat) slopes like ski resorts and hard snow surfaces (ice and hardened snow), in fresh or deep snow or three-dimensional natural terrain, the curve in the opposite direction to the board's direction of travel can actually catch on things, reducing free movement.

The GENTEMSTICK Accel Camber is a groundbreaking design that eliminates this snag, preventing the tip of the board from sinking into the snow, even in deep or fresh snow, and positions the board for natural buoyancy. It was developed to ensure the board's shape delivers optimal gliding performance when the rider stands on the snow in a natural position. The board is completely flat from the widest point of the nose to the front foot, with an arched bend extending from the front foot to the tail's widest point, approximately 3cm toward the center. (The peak of the arch is near the back foot.) When the rider stands on the board, the arched bend collapses, leaving the nose just touching the snow from the front foot down, or slightly elevated. This position maximizes the board's gliding performance, and is similar to the positioning required to achieve maximum speed in downhill skiing.

The accelerator camber has an arched bend between A and B.

By stepping down on your back foot, the board becomes flat and the area from the C part to the nose gently rises off the snow surface, which drastically reduces the resistance of the snow flowing under the board.

In recent years, other major companies have also released systems similar to the Accel Camber, but the key to systems like the Accel Camber, which have a bend further back than the center of the board, is the rocker design toward the nose. The original GENTEMSTICK Accel Camber is designed with particular attention to the area from where the camber ends to the widest point of the nose. The main purpose is to eliminate resistance from the snow surface on the nose.
