A quality snowboard to tackle the slopes is essential for the snow season. But with so many different types of snowboards, it’s hard to find the perfect one for you. When purchasing a snowboard, there are many things to consider as the perfect ride relies on the shape, length, width, skill level, and snow condition of course.

Snowboarding has come a long way since the mid-eighties when the ‘father of snowboarding’ Sherman Poppen bolted two skis together. And remember, once you’ve got your board sorted, we can help with you with snowboard clothes, boots, and much more…

What to consider when buying a new board:

  • Style – whether it’s all-mountain, freestyle, freeride, or powder. Different boards cater to specific riding conditions
  • Shape – directional, twin or directional twin 
  • Size – appropriate for your height and weight 
  • Flex – soft boards are ideal for beginners; stiffer one offer more stability and control
  • Terrain – what would work best in powder, groomers, double black diamond
