i was reading about the bananna board cause it sounded sweet, and on their site it says "a snowboard is not a ski, magna traction bananna technology is snowboard geometry"
its funny how they make it sound like magna traction and rockered "bananna for libtech" technology is snowboard exclusive, but we have like 20 skis this season with rocker, and people have been using it for like 5 years. but anyway the board seems pretty cool, its like a park board with slight rocker and i guess its crazy good for butters and stuff.

yeah there are a couple kids at the place i ride at that have them, and i think they are the coolest looking board, with the waved edges and rocker (so it has more of a banana shape haha) but no, if i were to snowboard i'd defienetly ride one.

correct me if im wrong...but dont those two technologies counteract eachother?  maybe not counteract, but the point of magne-traction is so you can hold an edge super well on anything and the point of the "banana" (at least skiing wise) is to make it float better....doesnt make sense to make a board that is for carving and powder....that sounds like something out of a Skiing magazine gaper style ski review

There are so many of those boards at Killington. The rocker is in the middle of the foot, so when you put both feet down, all of the board makes contact with the snow, so it actually rides like a normal board. That would be a sweet thing for skis, but it can't really be done.

bingo, it's not totally rockered.  however it works well for carving, and it butters, and floats better in pow.  basically the future of snowboards at some point.
