Product Info
StepChild Latchkey Rocker Snowboard 2011: The StepChild Latchkey Rocker Snowboard is StepChild’s entry-level twin snowboard and it definitely rocks. It has an injected wood/ABS core and added carbon stringers for some added support and pop. The board is great for running to the hills with every day park riding and is still a trooper on the rails. We can’t guarantee that snowboarding won’t kill you but if you die then die with your boots on!
Product Details
Flex
StepChild Flexometer: Medium/Soft
The Latchkey is pressed to resemble the bottom of a rocking chair. The rocker gives the board an easy riding feel as it is “pre flexed” going into turns. It works well for parks, jibs and surprisingly well in powder. This board is a true twin with a centered stance and sidecut. The tip and tail are identical.
Construction and Core
As with all StepChild boards, this comes with the Armadillo Plate, a diamond shaped fiberglass reinforcement layer that is placed over the inserts. Carbon stringers are added to the core of the board to give it a bit more pop and helps maintain the flex and life of the board.
Base
The base is a pre waxed smooth “soft belt base” finish that is screened and boasts non stick UV laquer coating.
Sidewalls and Edges
This freestyle board has edges that were built to take a beating or two, durable enough for rails and jibs and versatile enough for fresh pow days.
Specs
- Effective Edge (mm): 1130mm (144cm), 1150mm (148cm), 1200mm (153cm), 1230mm (156cm)

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

Rocker Type
Rocker A rocker board side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth downward curvature to it and less edge contact length when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder and pivot more easily underfoot. They also tend to be less “hooky” at both tip and tail and better for landing spin maneuvers when you don’t quite have enough rotation.
