I'd like to see a 1 year review on this proteus snowboard! If you could, it would help my decision. I am always weary of more moving parts and wonder how much use and abuse they can take. Love your videos!
Gotta say: I love the entire setup you have---step in bindings and customizable-camber snowboard!!! Great for speed-entry and versatility! This would be my ideal setup to ride anywhere, if I was gonna be traveling around the world with a board. Thanks for the awesome and thorough explanation and demo! Best one I've seen so far!
Man you scared me talking about the rocker earlier on, but then mentioned the hybrid profile being really good. Just bought a Riders Choice with the C2X, havent ridden for a few years, cant wait to rip it
@JohnathanBuckhouse it's really great, I'd love to see you review one if you haven't gotten a chance. Floaty, cruisy, forgiving, fun, but can still hold an edge and carry decent speed! Great for intermediate folks like myself who need one board for everything
I’ve only ever ridden flat to rocker n rocker hybrid boards..2018 gnu headspace and recently picked up 2022 neversummer harpoon that I’ll try for the first time this season
I'm looking at getting this board . I've only been snowboarding once but picked it up quickly . Was linking turns on day two so now looking to get my own set up
Brilliant explanation of all the board types and what it’s good/not so good for, I started snowboarding around 2 years ago and my board is a rocker board and I always wondered why I couldn’t pop up the same as some of my friends with a normal camber board but now it totally explains all things I’ve thought but not know was happening while on the board 👍🏻 but also kinda cool to know my board is good for nose/tail presses/butters and rails cause that’s my next step on getting better at riding.
You’re also forgetting triple camber, directional camber and rocker. Libtech C2 should make it easier for you to rudder-steer tight corners with the back foot. Your weight is basically on the small real estate of rocker in the center because it acts as a pivot point. The board won’t dig into the ground because of the camber pocket when you twist your board. The camber pockets aren’t completely compressed like a single camber board.
I apparently learned on a nearly flat top. I just demoed a Flying V and a slightly directional camber. I nearly killed myself on the directional camber. It bit everywhere I didn’t and the turns were more skidded. I know camber is ‘better’ but for some like me it’s bad. I’m just an all mountain cruiser looking to enjoy the day, no heavy speed no tricks. Research made me feel bad for wanting the Flying V cause everyone said it’s crap but if it’s what you enjoy it’s not
I feel like you kinda left a lot to be said for rocker boards. They are a lot of fun if you like to feel kinda "surfy" and "floaty." Yeah if you're gonna be carving on icy runs out east then a camber board is probably best but you can absolutely have a fun time with a rocker style board just gliding around and doing spins on a twin rocker board. That's a blast. I get it tho if you wanna carve on packed snow you'll have to dig in a lot more. Also they're great for helping beginners gain some speed and confidence because you're less likely to catch an edge on them since you don't have as much "bite" as a camber board. Put a beginner on a rocker board for a season and they'll fall in love with snowboarding, next season sell the deck and keep the bindings and buy a camber board!
I have a hybrid profile. I love the profile because it suits how i like to ride. But i wish i could quickly switch to traditional camber once in a while without switching boards. The proteus board is great. I wish it could do hybrid but all the other stuff it can do is great. S profile and flat especially.
How about a small bluetooth motor setup on that board so you can run different profiles of camber as you ride down the mountain. You could have buttons on your jacket (or watch or phone) to give you access :) imagine rocking up to the park cambered out only to hit a button and reverse your camber for the rails :)
Crazy, i started riding in 87' i ride flat wide boards. The only combination i own is a flat rocker. In my opinion, its never the arrow. Its the indian.
I ride never summer and I definitely don't get the pop that I do with a camber board. But I do love the board and ive been riding for literally 30 years now so I could ride literally anything and feel good probably. 😂😂 But I am going to get a capita either DOA or mercury.
@ yeah I’m an old head too. NS is definitely a great board for the type of riding I do. My daughter has been on the NS team for 4 years but now rides for Nitro. She is an ATV but mostly rides street and park. She said the same thing about going back to camber. The pop is very noticeable. Hopefully Nitro gives dad a board. I could see myself liking it when the conditions aren’t powder
Traditional Camber is the best! Honestly whatever board has the closest sidecut and flex to an old Capita Stairmaster at the moment is the best board. Do everything and almost pretty hard to max out unless is super chattery and you are hauling.
damn, dude!? my 2009 Stairmaster is done and I'm looking for replacement, I'd buy the exact same board if I was able to find a new one. My shortlist are Pathfinder and Thunderstick. Sugestions welcome, 100% camber or nearly is a must!
Even if you don't do any freestyle or carving (wait, what DO you do?) I don't like reverse camber aka full rocker boards for beginners or anyone who wants to traverse. On hardpack, a rocker board will slide sideways downhill almost as much as it goes forward. Beginners like rocker when learning their first turns, since rocker isn't catchy and just wants to turn. But when they want to leave the bunny hill, rocker only can be a real handicap. Obviously, for flat ground tricks, it's a cool toy. But I'd call that a specialized board, much more than beginners seem to recognize. Just my 2 cents as an ex instructor who often got the "what should i buy?" question.😂 My teaching board was flat. Still have it to play on. Very forgiving on landings, doesn't wash out badly if you know how to engage your edges actively. Great video! Thanks for laying it out and demonstrating it all in detail!
Just was snowboarding in the swiss alps for a day and grapped my board, realizing itˋs a 24 year old burton seven raven with burton custom straps. Board is pretty banged up from freeriding 20 years ago and hitting some rocks. My spy googles frame just crumpled and left me with the lens. The board held up very nice, hit 80km/h easy with full control. Nothing broke, me neither. Rails were rusty and not really sharp so icy black slopes were not fun. But to be honest, not having ridden for 8 years, itˋs better to go full on carving down that stuff and just slide it, even if it hurts my pride.
The whole adjustment system adds 6 ounces to the center of the board. We are able to make up this added weight by using ultralight Paulownia wood throughout low stress areas of our core to save an additional 8 ounces in the overall build.
@@Johnny-Utah-91 Our design allows for any flex in the board to relieve tension in the mechanism. We've found that the board will snap in half before the mechanism fails, so you've usually got bigger problems. That being said, if one side of mechanism fails you are stuck with that side of the board in camber. The boards are by default an aggressive camber shape which gives you the best natural response and pop. The mechanism just allows you unlock all of the other shape possibilities.
awesome content! I've got an old burton custom with hybrid camber. I rode a newer camber recently and it blew my mind. I thought I'd next try a rocker. Did that this weekend. It was really washy but great in the powder. Now I'm considering upgrading to the camber board. I never tried it in the powder though. So I'm hoping that I don't hate it. How have you found camber in the powder?
Anyone else have experience with these Proteus boards? The designs, technology and concept seem super cool, but they aren't very well known and after reading some forum posts saying that it sacrifices performance for marketing I'm conflicted.
Hey I'm new I want to start snowboard. Which one shape u recommend for starters. Im intirested into camber. Should I choose camber ? And how tall snowboard I need if Im 64kg and 164xm high. I need your help.
You can totally start with camber! Or flat profile. As for snowboard size you need to find the board you want and then look up the size chart for that snowboard. It’s different for every snowboard and every snowboard has a size chart.
@@JohnathanBuckhouse sorry for disturbing, but wich one you recomand? Can you send a link? And you said - There is difference betwen every snowboards. Are those differences very big? Like if for me is good 159 snowboard so if Im saying good another snowboard 159 can be longer? Btw I from Lithuania(europe) so I need snowboard that I can buy becouse I from europe. I apologize for the mistakes I made while writing.
@@JohnathanBuckhouse it might be the a weird visual thing but in several videos especially the 300 Amazon video it looks like the longer section of the board is behind you in the clips where you are talking to the camera and several jumps
I have one for park/riding with beginner friends. They’re a lot of fun for butters and more forgiving in the park. Definitely not my primary board though.
no, that's not hybrid camber, even the S shapes, are not hybrid camber. 11:28 , that's not hybrid camber, that's hybrid rocker. hybrid camber is camber in the center (to the end of the bindings) and rocker between the end of the bindings and tip/tail
I can’t tell what I have it’s a Rome sds and if I put it up against the wall the board has a bend but it’s more towards the tail and not the direct middle of the board ? Anyone help?
@@masxhk yeah - I’ve finally seen some honest reviews circulating from non-influencers the past week or so - would rather a cushy ride than a convenient strap-in
Not strictly accurate as you can have stiff as well as flexie reverse camber boards, and stiff or flexie full camber boards - each would suit a different rider as it's all down to personal preference, so just go demo some before buying one. The best thing a beginner can get is a soft, flexie board in either reverse or normal camber, as they'll need to learn now to flex it to turn which is easier on a soft board. Then, once muscle memory has it down, buy a more intermediate board. Basically go to a shop, be honest about your ability level and what you want to do, and they'll recommend the best board for you.
So what you're telling me is that we should all buy your board so that way we can learn on flat, and then as we learn different things we can have our board adapt to that. Sounds like a good way to save some money instead of have 5 different snowboards🤔🤔🤔
It's when a boarder does a nose press or tail press and is spinning and/or sliding sideways to the slope. It almost looks like they're spreading butter.🧈
This is all BS. Go back and watch snowboard films like Snowboarders in Critical Condition or Creatures of Habit Part 2 (and a dozens more from around 1990+) and all there were was cambered boards. It wasn't even spoken about. Watch that wave of riders like Shawn Farmer, Shaun Palmer, Chris Roach, Mike Ranquet, Noah Salasnek, Nick Perata, John Cardiel, Dave Seoane etc. etc. They could ride & rip everything & anything with just cambered boards. These days people make it sound like if you want to ride a certain style then you have to get this specific profile. And back then us non pros mostly had one board for everything; powder, ice, slush, crust, groomers etc. It was unheard of to have multiple boards for different purposes. People waste too much time & energy in overthinking & over analyzing camber profiles. See if someone can do a blind test where they have different brands & models of different profiles then see, since they are experts, if they can pick out what profile it is just by riding. Just find an appropriate length/width board, check the flex & if the graphics pass muster - just buy it. Nobody's ever going to say (after their first day on their new board); "Dammit, I screwed up. This cambered board sucks, I knew I should have gotten a reverse cambered board - I can't turn, stop, do 180's, 360's, 540's, slides, rails etc. now." It's like basketball shoes; if you have the skill you can play ball & slam dunk - whether you have on $20 WalMart shoes or $300 Nike's. The shoe isn't going to determine how you play. Same with snowboarding; either you can do it or you can't - the camber profile doesn't mean anything.
I been on shitier boards whit camber thats carve worse then the rocker ones i owned. A nuddle camber bends more then a stiff rocker.and wheres the talking of the benefits whit it, eas, faster edge to edge and they ripp in pow.
Dude, u keep commenting on qualities of rocker in powder and yet you are not in powder for a second in this video. The truth is there's no better shape for powder than full rocker, period. S camber is a compromise.
Man you scared me talking about the rocker earlier on, but then mentioned the hybrid profile being really good. Just bought a Riders Choice with the C2X, havent ridden for a few years, cant wait to rip it

Best camber rocker video I’ve seen to explain the difference and showing a good example after. Good work!
Sick board also
Thank you 🙏🏼
WHAT!! I’ve never seen such a thing in all my days!! An any shape board!

I love hybrid. My favorite. I think I’m one of the few who just don’t enjoy traditional camber decks.
After 2 season on a GNU Rocker with Magnetraction, I’ve got my first True Camber board. And I couldn’t be more excited
Man you scared me talking about the rocker earlier on, but then mentioned the hybrid profile being really good. Just bought a Riders Choice with the C2X, havent ridden for a few years, cant wait to rip it
Heck yeah! Send it
You’ll never go back once you ride a Mervin Made with magne traction
Soggy Ollie is a perfection description 😂
Burton flying V shape is the absolute best I've ridden if you want all mountain capable single board.
Nice!
@JohnathanBuckhouse it's really great, I'd love to see you review one if you haven't gotten a chance. Floaty, cruisy, forgiving, fun, but can still hold an edge and carry decent speed! Great for intermediate folks like myself who need one board for everything

Oh try full camber! It will be stiffer
harpoon is a great low key powder board
Yes, the Harpoon is a brilliant board. I enjoy the benefits of the hybrid boards.
Damm, out tha game for season and, boom a board that can change rocker shape! Wow. Just. Wow.
I'm on directional camber. Burton Cartographer. If you like to carve and cruise, it's nice!!
Sick!
I'm looking at getting this board . I've only been snowboarding once but picked it up quickly . Was linking turns on day two so now looking to get my own set up
That board is crazy super cool
Right 🙌🏼
Definitely learned a lot from this video! Thanks!
Glad to hear it 🙌🏼 I know so much more than before 😂
That Proteus snowboard seems very cool to try out different cambers
Why is nobody talking about the guy falling behind him as he said, "Land back seat?" 😂
🤣😂🤣
because people understand, that guy was simply demonstrating what JB was talking about. :P

Having the option to switch is so cool! Camber is the only way as far as I’m concerned

camber for pop and control
rocker for free style and yolo

Just took out my Bataleon ET today.. Don’t think it’s for me I go to fast lol definitely was helpful for the butters tho

Just find an appropriate length/width board, check the flex & if the graphics pass muster - just buy it. Nobody's ever going to say (after their first day on their new board); "Dammit, I screwed up. This cambered board sucks, I knew I should have gotten a reverse cambered board - I can't turn, stop, do 180's, 360's, 540's, slides, rails etc. now."
It's like basketball shoes; if you have the skill you can play ball & slam dunk - whether you have on $20 WalMart shoes or $300 Nike's. The shoe isn't going to determine how you play. Same with snowboarding; either you can do it or you can't - the camber profile doesn't mean anything.
Well said. Valid and accurate

Just get camber, no need for anything else
Traditional camber is the only way to go. All the rest of that crap is a gimmick
I agree
I been on shitier boards whit camber thats carve worse then the rocker ones i owned. A nuddle camber bends more then a stiff rocker.and wheres the talking of the benefits whit it, eas, faster edge to edge and they ripp in pow.
Am I the only one who saw snowboard Jesus in the back
What 😂 whete
Ik what he means at 3 min 13 sec there's someone in a hockey jersey and it looks like him
Dude, u keep commenting on qualities of rocker in powder and yet you are not in powder for a second in this video. The truth is there's no better shape for powder than full rocker, period. S camber is a compromise.
how many cameras dose one snowboarder need? 🏂🏻
Man you scared me talking about the rocker earlier on, but then mentioned the hybrid profile being really good. Just bought a Riders Choice with the C2X, havent ridden for a few years, cant wait to rip it
