Buying Guide

Intro

Choosing a new snowboard can feel overwhelming with so many options out there. The key is to focus on what really matters—your riding style, budget, and the board’s camber, flex, shape, and size. Getting the specs right will set you up for a great time on the mountain—but if you just want to pick the one that looks the coolest, we’re not here to stop you!

Board Size

Choosing the right snowboard size can be tricky, but it boils down to a few key factors: height, weight, and boot size. Most brands provide a size guide that matches your weight to the right board size, which is a great starting point.

Weight is especially important because your board responds to how much pressure you’re putting on it—not your height. You might find yourself falling between two sizes. If that happens, a shorter board will be easier to maneuver, while a longer board will be more stable at speed and offer better float in powder.

Boot size is another consideration, as you want to avoid toe or heel drag. A common rule of thumb is that if you wear men’s size 12 or larger (or women’s size 9+), you’ll likely need a wide board to accommodate your boots. However, because different brands may size slightly differently, this isn't always the case.
To keep it simple: if you’re using large bindings, you’ll need a wide board.

Camber Profile

Camber profile is just the fancy name for the shape of your snowboard when you look at it from the side—and it plays a big role in how your board rides. There are a few main types: camber gives you good pop and edge hold, rocker (or reverse camber) is more forgiving and floaty, flat sits somewhere in between, and hybrids mix the best bits of each. The right profile depends on how and where you like to ride, so it’s worth thinking about what kind of feel you’re after on snow.

Flex

Snowboard flex refers to the stiffness or softness of a snowboard, which significantly impacts its performance and feel on the mountain. A softer flex is ideal for beginners, park riders, and those who enjoy freestyle tricks, as it offers
better maneuverability and forgiveness.

In contrast, a stiffer flex provides enhanced stability and control at high speeds, making it suitable for advanced riders and those tackling aggressive terrain or carving on groomed runs.

When choosing the right flex, consider your riding style, skill level, and preferred terrain to ensure an optimal experience
