Snowboards
How to choose your snowboard ?
You choose your snowboard according to your practice. If you want to do jumps, carving and little big powder, you will choose a freestyle board. If you want to do jumps, carving & also powder, you take an all mountain board, if you want to do only powder & carving without doing jumps, you take a pure freeride snowboard
What is my snowboarding level ?
If you are a beginner, you should not choose a snowboard that is too powdery. You should first progress on a more accessible snowboard, freestyle type, with a nose & tail of the same length. For an intermediate level, then you can choose boards a little more technical. With shapes and programs a little more different. For an expert level, we choose a snowboard for each type of practice.
What size should I choose for my snowboard?
Generally, we choose a board that is 20 cm less than our height for everyday use. In freestyle, if you are 175 cm tall, you will choose a 155 cm board. When you want an all mountain board, you can add 5 cm without any problem to have a little more lift in the powder. When you want a freeride board, there is no limit. We will take a board big enough, because we know that the bigger it is, the easier it will be to float in the powder. On the other hand, you will float well but the movements will be a little more complicated. It is important to choose the right board for the use you want to make of it.
What width of snowboard?
You will find the dimensions of our boards in the description. Generally, the board sizes match the size of the board. There are very few big boards with dimensions for small sizes. Vice versa. The width of a snowboard is important for the size of the feet. The thinner a board is, the more fun it is to ride for smaller riders. On the contrary, the bigger a rider is and the bigger his feet are, the wider the board will have to be to avoid touching the tip of his feet and the heels. This is what we call the skate rib.
