Riding Terrain:
Pipe - You like riding big transitions with plenty of speed, edge to edge response and grip carving is essential, you’re also looking for a board with high spec lightweight materials and explosive pop. Rails - Handrails, boxes, concrete ledges…if you can slide it you’ll ride it. Being able to press and tweak is more important to you than all-mountain performance. Park - Laps in the park is where it’s at for you. Kickers in all shapes and form are what get you out of bed, even when in a whiteout and bone chillingly cold. You also enjoy getting creative on jibs and boxes. Freeride - You want a board for high speed carves all over the mountain, popping off lips and laying down roosters in the powder. For you freeriding means getting creative over the whole mountain and in all snow conditions. Big Mountain - Critical lines, chest deep powder and big ol’ cliffs. If it’s inbound you’re not interested. High speed stability, uncompromising grip in all snow conditions, tons of float in powder all feature in your check list.
Board Construction:
Camber - Camber. Zero Camber - Zero Camber. Hybrid Camber - Hybrid Camber. Rocker - Rocker or Reverse Camber.
Board Shape:
Twin - A perfectly symmetrical snowboard in shape and flex. For park and rail riders who like to take-off and land switch as much as they do regular, and aren’t bothered about venturing far from the terrain park. Directional Twin - A twin shape with a directional flex; usually stiffer in the tail and softer in the nose for powder landings, tons of pop and riding through variable snow conditions. They offer a bit more versatility for freestylers who like to take their tricks into the backcountry. Directional - The domain of all-mountain snowboards. Directional snowboards are designed to spend 80% of their time ridden nose first. A longer nose helps to create float in powder and offers increased stability at high speed. A stiffer tail helps with pop and, together with a stance set further back in the sidecut, offers improved acceleration out of carves. Directional snowboards are for riders that like to carve on groomers (piste) and shred the backcountry. Freeride Specific - Swallow tail, Pin tail and Fish are all snowboard shapes designed specifically for riding powder. By increasing the surface area of the nose, the nose automatically rises and tail sinks offering effortless float in deep snow. Stances are usually setback and a wider nose (the result of taper) helps to initiate carves easily, giving the board a more agile feel. The softer and shorter the tail, and the tighter the sidecut at the tail, the more surfy the feel of the snowboard. Great for powder but only worth buying as the freeride part of a quiver.
Women's Specific:
Female Specific - The fairer sex tend to have lighter frames and smaller feet, so female specific boards are built with this in mind.
Wide:
Mid Wide - For riders with US 10-12 looking for a slightly wider waist for added stability and to minimise toe and heel without loosing too much response...a good compromise. Wide - You’ve got bigger feet than the average rider; US11 and up.
Green:
Green Construction - Resins, Fibre Glass, Sintered Bases, Wood cores; all these products have to be sourced and processed from the raw materials. In many cases the manufacturing techniques and processes involve the use of highly toxic materials and huge amounts of energy. Snowboards using eco friendly materials and construction techniques go some way to addressing the impact that snowboarding has on the environment..
Cost:
Low - For those new to snowboarding or just super skint. You’re not too bothered about having the best snowboard. Most snowboards in this price range tend to be for beginners and inexperienced riders, or jib specific boards with standard biaxial glass and an extruded base. Medium - The domain of most intermediate snowboarders. Expect a solid spec with quality materials, just a few less bells and whistles than higher priced models. High - Expect a high grade sintered base, plenty of reinforcement and damping, all these features cost money. Very High - Money is no issue. As far as you’re concerned space age materials and ground breaking design are worth the expense.
