i can half agree with that statement, only because there are some cambered boards that are the ultimate poop when it comes to pop.
Forum destroyer, two options....regular camber, or double dog [camber and reverse camber hybrid] top of the line forum. best construction best base. Forum's parent company is and in fact burton. So technology is trickled down from burton's decks. Including their materials. However it's labeled as forum's stuff. I will currently ride the destroyer doubledog with shakabra bindings
Sk8 banana. My go to board for the last 4+ years. I have ridden a skate banana since they were first introduced. Now i've gone to forum. however, the upside of the original banana, the solid construction underneath the bindings, which is the point where the board has to have the most snap for ollies. The downside was the OVERALL construction. I've broken 3. The magna traction is cool, and the fact that the tip's and tail' have no edge wrapping makes for a clean looking deck. And now with so many different tech' of banana camber, you have plenty of options.
Park Pickle, same idea as the sk8 banana, however the two major differences are the heal side side cut, as it's deeper than it's toe side. Also known as an assymetrical sidecut to allow your healside turns to be just as strong as your weak toe side carve. Flex pattern is different than the banana, as the board has softer nose and tail flex, but a stiffer waist/mid section. Produced at the same factory as libtech, could really call them the same board in regards to how they react.
Rome Agent. These boards have HEAPS of tech, as they were started by a burton snowboards engineer who either quit, or got fired form burton. Started off semi weak, but is now one of the most solid brands out there, with a killer team. The agent is a solid go to board for a lot of riders that I know of. has solid tech behind the construction and has loads of pop. Makes a great all mountain board for freestyle and park riding. Not overly good for jibbing though.
Bataleon. TBT triple base technology. a few friends i know ride these decks. They like them for the most part. It's a cambered board with raised nose and tail edges, to act like a rocker board, but have camber to provide you with pop. Good idea. just a little off in regards to riding. Good for pow and thick/deep crud though.
and stuff.
