Description
Introducing the new Summit GroovN 106 cm 3D Rocker CS Skiboards 2020! These GroovN 106 skiboards are true all mountain, all condition skiboards, the original “One Skiboard Does It All” design. Made to hold on ice, hardpack and float through powder, just like the SK8 96 and Invertigo 118. skiboards, these are designed for pure mountain fun. These are at home anywhere on the mountain, including those steep chutes you see in the ski movies, ripping through moguls or flying through the glades. If you want something that does it all, these are the prime choice.
The Summit GroovN (“Groovin”) 106 skiboards offer a unique combination of 15% Rocker front tip, 80% traditional camber and 5% rocker tail. What does this mean? It means riding through soft snow is an almost effortless ride, feeling more like surfing! This unique combination of Rocker tips and tails delivers fast turn initiation, a super short turn radius as if riding something much shorter, yet with traditional camber that offers amazing edge grip on hard pack/ice. Rocker tip/tail design provides easier riding transitions in powder, clumps of snow and slush, tending to ride up and over while preventing tips from digging in.
Multiple Binding Options: These rocker skiboards feature 4 stainless steel insert allowing the use of Snowboard bindings like the Technine Custom Pro DS Snowboard Bindings. These can also be mounted with release bindings like the Atomic L10 or Warden MNC 11 bindings. We pre-mount the release bindings for you and include free wide brakes.
One feature definitely worth mentioning is that these skiboards feature our special 3D Carbonium top sheet that provides greater durability, yet allows the graphics to shine through without distortion. These look so much better in person than we can portray on the web.
These are a special hybrid ABS Cap/Sidewall construction (CS). These offer numerous advantages including:
• increased torsional stability,
• greater edge protection against sharp edges hitting top sheets,
• enhanced power transfer to the edges,
• improved vibration dampening,
• greater strength, and
• a full length flex from tip to tail.
These Summit GroovN 106 cm 3D Rocker CS Skiboards 2020 are true symmetrical twin tips (to ride or land jumps backwards). The tip-to-tail Northern Birch/poplar wood core provides a super smooth flex allowing you to truly enjoy your ride every time coupled with the wide body construction and fast sintered bases that offer surprising speed. These will definitely bring a smile to your face all the way down the run. Ready to play?

After skiing the Head 94s for years (they were perfect for teaching my kids to ski!) It was time to dial up! I adore these Summits!! I am in the North East so I can attest to their ability to hold on ice but also love how fast and sure they are on rest of the mountain!! I feel so much more in tune with the trails lines and carve so effortlessly. They turn on a dime and hold a line with zero chatter! From double blacks with “North East hardpack” (that’s ice for the rest of you!) To wide open blues to scream down….these skiboards are a blast and certainly certainly an upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These skiboards are as advised. I just got back from skiing a week in Colorado with all kinds of conditions with these skiboards. I have no desire to go back to long skis. When I first discovered skiboards in 2012 I was using Head 94cm, these skiboards had gotten me off the greens and onto the rest of the ski mountain but these skiboards are not an all condition skiboards. When you go from greens to double blacks you see the ski mountain in a whole new light. I have been told by more than one ski instructor that I have the skills of skiing but not the conference. Skiboards not only gave me conference but also puts a smile on my face now whenever I get to go skiing. Funny how my husband told me skiboards are slow, yet many times I passed him on the ski mountain whether we were on a cat track or a blue/black trail. My husband had changed his mind after our ski trip. I keep telling my husband and anyone who will listen to at least try skiboards.

In Colorado for 5 days of early season skiing, I only used skis the first day. On day two I took skiboards and poles to a dedicated learning area. I used poles for 7 lift rides and each run was better than the previous run. After some skating practice at the base, I went up 2 more times without the poles. For each successive run balance improved, arc carving improved, quick turns improved, stops improved, confidence improved. After 2 to 3 hours this old dog, age 72, learned enough new tricks to tackle the rest of the mountain.
My plan was to do green and blue cruisers on the second skiboard day. On run number 2 I found myself at the top of an ungroomed blue trail. I very quickly learned to navigate moguls, crud and piles of old snow. When I got to the bottom, my legs seemed to be just as tired as when I skied moguls. Then I realized I had made twice as many turns on the skiboards. These things turn on a dime.
The technique seems to be a blend of skiing and snowboarding. I find it helpful to hold my hands a little in front of my body, much like a snowboarder. And I use more counter rotation when turning. And of course I can not lean as far forward or backward on skiboards as I can on skis because of the short fore and aft length.
I used the skiboards for my final 2 days. I even made a twisty run thru trees. Skiboards are a fun new snow riding experience. As the season progresses I will probably even try them in powder.
