It depends on your park focus. Camber provides maximum pop for jumps and pipe with the best edge hold, but catches edges more easily on rails. Rocker is extremely forgiving on rails and makes pressing effortless, but offers less pop and edge hold. Hybrid camber is the most popular choice because it delivers camber's pop between the feet with rockered tips for forgiveness—a great all-around park option.
