Description

The 2024 RVL8 Spliff “Fire-Cyclone” skiboards represent the culmination of over 10 years of research and testing of rockered skiboards. RVL8 had been producing traditional cambered (raised up under foot) skiboards for 6 years when they made the first ever rockered skiboard in 2012, the Rockered Condor. Rockered skiboards offer the epitome of powder performance. By rockering (angling up) the tips and tails slightly you open up a whole new world of float, but most traditionally rockered and zero cambered skiboards struggled to perform well on ice or groomed snow. There just wasn’t enough edge making contact to hold a fast line on hard snow. This is why RVL8 created the rockered AND cambered 109cm RVL8 Spliff skiboards. With 3mm over 10cm rocker combined with 6mm of camber the Spliff can hold an edge on groomers while still floating crud and powder.  The 2024 “Fire-Cyclone” Spliff graphic was created by RVL8 customer Richard Thomas with the encouragement of the Facebook Skiboard Connection.
Here are the first comments from RVL8 prototype skiboard tester Dave Stevens – “Another Home Run from RVL8. Wonderful stability, beautifully neutral handling, extremely comfortable ride, great edge grip, and that elusive ‘Big Board’ feel, all in a very cool format. Whats not to like?” ….read more
