Boat Swap?

   nose and tail presses- pretty basic freestyle trick, made even simpler by a reverse camber (or rockered) board, especially a soft one.
butter - another ground trick, an edge to edge transition from regular to switch riding.  Looks pretty cool when dialled, and fairly functional too if you're running out of piste.  

Boards which are pressy/buttery tend to be either flat rocker or reverse camber, and usually quite soft to make the above- and advanced versions of the above easier. They are typically slow boards which don't make great boards from dropping down pistes- the ride can be a bit 'squirrelly'.  Think Topper- dead downwind in a F6 on the sea... suddenly all that flex they are so famed for stops 'absorbing inaccurate steering' as an amazing beach boat should and becomes a f*cking liability that'll see you in the pss!
