Full reverse camber noodle skis

Hey peeps.

Anyone know of any company that makes ski models like this still?

I have a pair of 2012 hellbents, and I just love the rocker and the softness.

Are there any skis like this still beeing made? Dont have to be as wide tho.

Been looking at 4frnt Inthayne, Icelantic Saba pro etc. But these seems to not really have that supersoft powderrocker

that the hellbents and the Shreditor 120 had.



Any ideas?

Was thinking vishnu too maybe also on3p they have a bunch of rocker too, could even get them custom with softer flex.

Vishnu’s and ON3P are great options. On the ON3P website you can also make custom skis with a softer flex. You can also change the colors which is cool.

K2 mimicked the surface outsider (formerly called the one life) for their hellbent design. Outsiders arent as soft but they have way more rocker so you won’t even notice it.

Thnx a lot for the answers.

Tried a friends Black Crows Nocta today. Really smooth and light, but damn they were stiff.

You thought the Nocta was stiff? The full reverse camber one? I had one for a season and had to sell it, thing was floppy as hell. Not Blend soft, but way soft.

This isn’t even remotely true.

This also blatantly false, the shredditors were way heavier and also softer. And the sidecut and rocker is different as well as different sidewall construction.

lots of mis information going on in this thread.

Pretty sure Surface made those the year after the bents first came out. Similar intent but pretty different ski.

I got 190cm noctas, noctas have the "freebird build" and are on the lighter side, and not very stiff.

As far as I know, there is nothing out there as soft and rockered as the old Hellbents. The closest thing I can think of that was made recently, and thus is possibly still available somewhere, is probably the Icelantic Nomad 125. They are definitely stiffer than the Bents were but full (or very nearly full) rocker, 125 underfoot and I didn't find them that stiff.

Hey again guys, and thank you for all the answers.



I tried the Reckoner 122 today, and it was awesome, so Im getting a pair.

They do have a tiny bit of camber(4mm)

right under the foot, but they basically feel flat when ure on them.

I did try the revolt 121 which was also good, but got damn they are so ugly.

I guess my point about the Nocta was that the flex was so gradual.

The reckoners outter tips are way softer, so I did nosebutter 3's on my way back to the lift on hardpack actually.

I wasnt able to do this on the Nocta. But it figures since the reckoners do have alot more

freestyle influence then the nocta.
