25/26 season review
The Rossignol Retox is a medium-flex park board based on traditional full camber, a proven product kept in the lineup for over ten years. Powerful pop and stable edge holding are its characteristics, and it's an all-round park board that handles carving as well as park.
Strong snap response gives it some resistance in buttering and jibbing, making it suited to intermediate and advanced park riders.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
Rossignol's Amptech Elite camber profile — traditional full camber from contact point to contact point. With no rocker, pure camber provides pop, precision and power, and the nose and tail feel comparatively stiff.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A middle flex overall. The centre of the board is exactly mid-level, and with no rocker the nose and tail feel somewhat stiffer. Torsional flex is consistently mid-level too — foot steering remains possible.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Strong pop and snap can produce unpredictable responses for beginners, and controlling the resistance and strong spring during buttering and jibbing takes a degree of skill. It's best for intermediate to advanced park riders.
