The R is for "rocker". They put some negative camber in the tip and tail for ease of turn initiation and powder performance in the new model.
Thanks for the question.

thank you! can i ask one more thing...i'm new to boarding and looking at this board - i guess the 2010 is the one i want now, but im not sure what size to get. people are telling me different things. im 5'5 and i weigh 100 lbs. im a skier, not afraid of the scene, but i need a board i can maneuver and not get stuck in powder with. im not into park stuff, just free riding....many thanks!

At only 100lbs, you're probably looking at the 145 (the smallest they make I believe). If you are an aggressive skier and plan to bring that to your board, you might be able to size up one.
The good news is the snowboard will have as much surface area as probably any ski you've ever ridden. So long as you don't stop or try to run through the flats, it's hard to get stuck in the pow.

Thanks a lot JL. Really appreciate your input! Someone was telling me to get 155!!! And someone else in a store told me 151, but I was still thinking these were people who really knew how to board, and I don't want to get put off boarding by having a board that is too long and a drag to throw around....but I want the board to stay with me as I get good (my plan this season is to board every day at Big Mountain, MT)...would you still say the 145 or could I get a 149? And is 151 really just crazy? Thanks a ton. M

Hey,
155 is much to big for yourself.
You can get a 149, but a board that length will be on the large end. I noticed they sell a 147 this may be a good compromise. If you tend to pick up on sports quick go for the 147-149, or if you think you might be growing quick.
Just my two-cents.

hi Matt, thanks a lot for your input. i'm actually not going to get any bigger - i'm in my 30s! i'm just really light - i'm 5'5 - so that part wont change, but my riding ability will. i'm ok with sports - skiing and surfing. i'll certainly not look into anything more than 149 now, i've heard from enough people that someone as light as me shouldnt go long - pretty much everyone says what you are saying - 145....and it seems that NS would be making their boards with women's weight etc in mind: i just don't get why people are pushing me to long boards. will the 145 get me across flats, and powder and be ok in the trees too? thanks so much! (my alias on fb is muammar - sorry about the messed up post above - my first time here). :)

Hey,
You shouldn't have any problems in those conditions. Its more of a technique to get across flats anyways, just being able to stay on edge just enough without really turning.
