ROCKET FISH
MEN
ACCEL CAMBER
The world-record class nose width provides the float. The short length ensures super-swift moves. The bamboo-core promises a strong snap-back and the deep fish-tail a distinct maneuverability. The super-short and super-fat outline assures an extraordinary carving ability and an incredible sense of speed.
The riding image of this board doubles the one of surfing down-the-line a fast-breaking wave. It will swim like a fish, surfing natural half-pipes as if on a reeling reef-break. Rip side-banks in the resorts and carve like a razorblade on the groomers. Rocketfish: The ultimate snowsurfboard for the true snowsurfer.

FUNCTION
ACCEL CAMBER
The idea of traditional camber is to apply the same amount of pressure onto the entire edge of a board to attain smoother, more stable carving and turning.
The camber arches from the center of the board all the way to 3 cm inside of the widest point of a board, both the nose and the tail. To turn, this camber has to be stepped on and the bottom pressed against the surface. This type of camber is effective at a resort, compacted slope or on a flat face. But it has lots of demerit on deep powder, fresh snow, or terrains with three-dimensional features. It is arched against the direction of the board, and the board could get hooked on the snow easily, making the turn less agile.
The GENTEMSTICK’s radical Accel camber eliminates hooking and prevents nosedives in deep powder or fresh snow, while maintaining a natural floatation. It is designed and shaped to perform its best when the rider stands neutrally on top of a board. It is made flat from the widest point of the nose side to about the front foot. The arch begins there and reaches the highest around the back foot, and it ends at the widest point of the tail side. When a rider stands on the board, the arch gets pushed and the area ahead of the front foot barely touches the snow.
This is the position that maximizes the performance of the board, and also the same position that reaches maximum velocity in ski races and other speed competitions. Accel camber has an arch from point A to point B. The board becomes flat as the back foot pressures the board. It rises slightly from the point C to the nose, which effectively reduces snow resistance. There are boards with similar camber designs released from major manufacturers these days. It is important to remember that the nose rocker design becomes very important with this kind of camber system, which has the peak of its arch placed further behind the center of a board. The GENTEMSTICK Accel camber boards are distinctly designed, especially from the point where the camber ends to the widest point of the nose. The key is to reduce resistance.
REVIEW
中川淳 / 丸沼 / サーフライダーファウンデーションジャパン代表
湘南から２時間半、圏央道のおかげでとてもアクセスが良くなり、５０代からのサーフィンライフに冬山は欠かせないものとなりました。海辺で暮らし、冬になると山へ、小学校５年生、３年生の二人の息子たちと丸沼高原で滑ることが私の現在のスノーボードライフの大半です。
ロケットフィッシュの素材感、デザイン、乗り心地、そして世界観、全てが新鮮でした。本当に手に入れて良かったです。良い道具を手に入れることは、良い人生を手に入れることに通じます。とても感謝しています。
