The Alt Rocker shares much of its construction with the Novus, but the Artec designers integrate this into a more freestyle focused shape. With a low level rocker profile and blunt tip and tail directional twin shape it delivers a looser more skate like ride than the Novus. This makes it the perfect board for riders who want a more jib friendly board but who still want the versatility to ride the whole mountain.
