The PLAYGROUND offers an assortment of camber options and flexes that are sure to dial-in every big and little kid that just wants to have fun!

These boards are a favorite year after year because they have a soft flex, are durable and can handle anything you get yourself into. From camber to flat, wide waist to narrow, there is a PARK board here for everyone.

• Magnum ABS sidewalls
• Sintered bases on all models
• “Park Profile” core, which is thinner on the nose and tail but has a standard thickness between your feet

• The alternating grain structure of the Poplar core provides maximum strength and maximum pop

• Lightweight triaxial glass on the top and bottom of the core gives the Park a soft but more controlled flex
• Nylon 8210 top material provides a softer torsional flex
• Carbon stringers from tip to tail for added pop and strength

Rocker Light

Signal Rocker Light 2014
Signal Rocker Light 2014

The ROCKER LIGHT is part of the PLAYGROUND SERIES

The Rocker Light has 3-Stage Rocker Technology with 5 degrees of lift on the tip and tail and camber between your feet. It's great for regular to wide feet.

Rocker or Rocker Light, you choose your degree of lift, size and proportion from this line of ROCKERS. 

  • Signal’s own Three-Stage Park Rocker’s unique design: Stage One is continuous contact. This creates a level board through the bindings. It allows you to hold an edge without catching one. Stage One acts as a small board when you stand flat over this section. Stage Two rolls up five or ten ( depending on which Rocker ) degrees into Stage Three, the ‘flat spot’. Stage Two creates a pivot point when transferring from the level— or flat—area between the bindings and the ‘flat spot’ of Stage Three. Stage Two also acts as a secondary contact point when you are carving
  • “Standard Profile” Poplar core, which is thicker between the feet and tapers out as it reaches the nose and tail. There is no need for extra tapering as the nose and tail are already in the air because of the Rocker that starts at your feet
  • Matte Nylon 8210 top for softer torsion flex
  • Durasurf sintered base
  • Triaxial glass top and biaxial glass on the bottom of the core • Carbon stringer tip to tail
  • Rock on!
