I would think no? but I want to make sure. Just bought last year k2 recoils for $250 and they have all terrain rocker... does rocker have any benefits for rails??

I was thinking he was joking too. You can surface swap on almost every ski

ok it was a dumb question, dunno why I thought that. I thnk surface swaps are so dope and certainly will be trying on low to the ground features.

you don't need rocker to surface swap. Its more technique than the skis..though it would benefit a beginner.

Basically every ski can surface swap, it just depends on the type of rail. Like anyone can do it on a pipe but when it gets down to smaller and skinnier hand rails, you'll probably need a little fatter skis, like i use the Klint Primes and have no probably surface swapping anything.....unless my legs separate...then we know what happens..

thanks, I guess I thought rocker was the space between your skis when together, more rocker more pop? ah I dunno

That's camber bro, rocker is when the ski bends up at the tip/tail

the only reason its easier to swap with rocker skis is because there less friction with the rail in the tips and tails thus creating less catch and thus creating an easy surface swap;)

Didn't your parents ever tell you a good skier can ski on anything?

ok now I'm all confused. The only thing I get is early rise.. Can someone please explain what camber and rocker is? (I thought rocker was like pop in the ski but I'm wrong obviously)

Rocker makes it easier. And recoils hardly have rocker at all. I should know, I have a pair. The rocker is so subtle I wouldn't even say they have rocker.
