Gender  

For many products there is precious little technical difference, apart from size, between men’s and women’s or boy’s and girl’s versions. The main differences tend to be the colours and graphics. Most women are therefore happy to buy men’s versions in smaller sizes and regard them as unisex

Condition

• Brand New
  Nothing wrong with these babies! Most still have the manufacturer's cling film wrapped around them!
• Ex Display
  These boards are brand new and completely unused. They have, however, been on display in a showroom - so may come with minor marks and scuffs on them. Some may have had bindings mounted on them.

Ability Level  

If you are a complete beginner, there is absolutely no point in buying a snowboard that is intended for advanced riders, it will actually hinder you instead of help you progress. Choose the ability level closest to what you are now and be honest with yourself! This way you can find a board that will catapult you to that next ability level in no time.

We can help you choose the ideal snowboard. Simply complete our Recommend Me a Snowboard form and one of our team will get back to you with some advice and recommendations.

• Beg / Int
  We do not sell dedicated beginner's snowboards because most riders will quickly outgrow one of these! Instead, all the beginner / intermediate snowboards listed on our website have been selected because they are suitable for taking most riders from beginner right through to intermediate level.
• Int / Adv
  These snowboards are for people who are confident, comfortable and relaxed on their snowboard and are looking to either specialise in a particular riding style or to maximise their all mountain performance. To achieve the increased performance, these boards are loaded with technical features which most beginners would either never notice and therefore never benefit from or which might make it more difficult for them to quickly learn to to ride.

Binding Compatibility  

There are two different ways to mount bindings to a snowboard. The EST/ICS system primarily used by Burton and the standard 4 Hole layout used by almost every other brand. If you already own your bindings, you need to choose a compatible snowboard. If you have yet to buy your bindings, you need to decide which mounting system to go for to ensure binding and board compatibility.

• Standard 4 Hole
  The most common mounting option, the Standard 4 Hole Pattern refers to the design in which each binding uses 4 screws in a square pattern to mount to the board.
  
  All bindings apart from Burton EST Bindings will mount on these snowboards.
• ICS / EST
  Snowboards that use an ICS 'Infinite Channel System' for mounting bindings. ICS has some big advantages over the normal 4 hole mounting system - the main one being just how easy it is to adjust your riding stance, without the need for a screw driver. Adjusting your angles and your stance width is a big benefit if you switch from pow, to piste to park. A few seconds and you are done! Experimenting with your stance can seriously improve your riding - how else are you going to discover if your current stance could be better? Burton, Endeavour and others argue that the boards flex characteristics are also improved and there are some big advantages to using EST bindings as well.
  
  The big disadvantage of an ICS board is that of compatibility. An ICS snowboard will require either a pair of EST bindings (Extra Sensory Technology - currently only manufactured by Burton) or an adapter disc to convert your existing bindings and not all binding manufacturers supply these discs. Mind you, the EST system is pretty damn good so you might want to bite the bullet and go for both.

Riding Style  

Think about the type of rider you are and how you will be using your snowboard. If you are not sure - the 'All Mountain' option is the one to go for.

We can help you choose the ideal snowboard. Simply complete our Recommend Me a Snowboard form and one of our team will get back to you with some advice and recommendations.

• Jib / Street
  Rails and man made obstacles are your playground. You need a short, flexible, twin tip board with soft edges for sliding, jibbing and hitting boxes.
• Park / Pipe
  Spins, grabs and kickers are your thing. You'd rather spin 5 than carve hard turns into the piste!
• All Mountain
  You want to ride the whole mountain in style, switching from piste to park to powder with ease. Air off a few kickers, occasionally riding switch and at speed whenever you can.
• Freeride
  Cruising the pistes and powder, covering the entire resort as quickly as you can. Cutting sharp edges into the piste, then blasting off into the powder at every opportunity, dropping cliffs if you dare but speed rather than air is your thing.
• Big Mountain
  Powder hound. You live for riding off-piste in the deep soft white stuff.
• Boardercross
  Specialist snowboards designed for racing over the rough and tumble of a boarder cross course. These boards can handle any terrain and can therefore be ridden all mountain but they are not for all riders! They are designed for speed so are very stiff and unforgiving, requiring advanced level riding skills
• Alpine
  Alpine or carving snowboards, for on-piste racing. Highly specialised snowboards, for advanced riders only. Alpine boards tend to be very narrow, very long and very stiff, with a big side cut radius. Riders wear hard boots.

Board Width  

Here are all our snowboards labelled by the manufacturers as being 'wide' or 'mid-wide'. Width is relative and subjective so we strongly advise you use our boot size filter to determine the correct width snowboard for your personal boot size. Most people will not need a wide snowboard - even if you have size 11 boots!

• Standard
  A 'Standard' width snowboard is all most people need. If you are taller than average you will most likely have feet which are larger than average and you will probably be riding a snowboard which is longer than average. This snowboard will naturally be wider than average because the width of a snowboard is proportional to it's length. Manufacturers tend to make their longer snowboards wider so it is rare for someone to need a wide or a mid-wide snowboard.
  
  The downside with choosing a snowboard which is too wide is that it can make it more difficult to initiate fast, snappy turns - causing you to have to 'throw' your body weight to manoeuvre the board.
  
  To select the correct width snowboard for you, please use our 'Your Boot Size' filter in the left margin of this page. This will enable you to be presented with snowboards of the ideal width for your personal boot size.
• Mid Wide
  Mid Wide snowboards tend to have a waist width half way between that of a standard snowboard and a wide snowboard. Useful if you are borderline for a standard width snowboard or could do with that extra bit of float in powder.
  
  To select the correct width snowboard for you, please use our 'Your Boot Size' filter in the left margin of this page. This will enable you to be presented with snowboards of the ideal width for your personal boot size.
• Wide
  If your feet are large relative to your height or if you like riding particularly short snowboards, you might need to consider riding a wide snowboard. Wide snowboards are also ridden to give superior float in powder. Wide snowboards are usually a centimetre or two wider than a standard width board and prevent your toes or heels catching in the snow and tripping you up. Toe and heel drag are not only caused by the snowboard being a bit too narrow. Either one can occur if you have not mounted your bindings centrally - so if this is the case do not rush out and buy a wide board just yet!
  
  To select the correct width snowboard for you, please use our 'Your Boot Size' filter in the left margin of this page. This will enable you to be presented with snowboards of the ideal width for your personal boot size.

Your Boot Size  

Ensure your snowboard is the correct width for your boots. If a snowboard is too narrow, your toes or heels may drag and catch on the snow - causing you to fall. If a snowboard is too wide, you will find it difficult to transition between turns. It is not a precise science; riders with a wide stance and open angles can ride much narrower boards but stick to this guide and you will not go far wrong!

Your Weight  

Your weight is one of the most important factors when selecting a snowboard. If you are too light for a snowboard, it will be difficult to control; if you are too heavy, it will be difficult to hold an edge.

Board Length  

It is important to choose a snowboard which is not too short and not too long for your body weight, for your riding style and for your ability level. A board which is too long will be difficult to turn and to control. A board which is too short will be slower and will not grip the snow and ice so well when you need it to. It will also sink more easily in powder.

Camber Profile  

Camber profile is the curvature of the base a snowboard from the tip to the tail. Manufacturers are now producing many different camber profiles for different styles of riding. If you are into cruising around the pistes or pipe riding we recommend a traditional positive camber snowboard. For off piste and more hardcore freestyle riding there are now some alternatives to choose from.

We can help you choose the ideal snowboard. Simply complete our Recommend Me a Snowboard form and one of our team will get back to you with some advice and recommendations.

• Positive
  Positive camber snowboards offer more power in a turn, more energy transmission when riding hard and more stability on landings compared with snowboards using any other camber profile. You also get superior pop due to the recoil properties of the positive camber. Positive camber snowboards are sometimes referred to as traditional camber because this is the way snowboards have always been made. As Rome say, " Keep The King of Pop Alive!".
• Reverse
  Sometimes referred to as 'negative profile' or 'banana shape', reverse camber is just as it sounds, a camber turned upside down. Basically the board bends up from the centre to tip and tail. Reverse camber offers a more skate like feel on freestyle or jib specific boards and superior float when riding deep powder. This profile is also good for beginners because it makes it more difficult to catch an edge and much easier to turn and manoeuvre the snowboard. .
• Zero
  A flat camber (zero or flatliner) profile is usually found on more freestyle orientated snowboards. The profile is completely flat from the contact points at the tip and tail and all the way through the middle section of the board. This gives you a loose, catch free feel when in the park, without too much loss of pop or edge control. The only curved sections are the tip and tail.
• Hybrid
  A hybrid camber combines several camber profiles into a single snowboard. The aim is to give you the best of all worlds and, for the most part, manufacturers have absolutely achieved this objective. Perhaps the most common hybrid profile is to have reverse camber between the bindings and positive camber from the bindings to the contact points. This delivers a loose and catch free feel at slow speeds but gives you a stable controlled ride at high speeds or when landing off jumps.
• 3D
  AKA Triple Base Technology (TBT), No Hang Ups, Dow Tech or Wings - 3d bases make snowboarding easier by raising your contact points at the boards edges to create a catch free feel that still edges hard when you want it. Some of these bases also feature a bowl shape at the nose or tail to help turn the board easier

Board Shape  

Most snowboards may look the same but there are some very subtle and very significant differences in board shapes designed to improve performance for specific types of riding. Most shape differences are not discernible by merely glancing at the snowboard. You need to study the precise geometry.

• True Twin
  A twin tip snowboard has an identical shape at the nose and tail of the board. This makes them easy to ride switch or regular and are perfect for freestyle snowboarding. An excellent choice for your first snowboard to encourage you to ride in both directions.
• Directional Twin
  Designed to be ridden both switch and regular, these boards have a twin tip shape at the nose and tail but the side cut shape and the board's flex pattern are directional. This makes all mountain cruising easier but the board retains it's freestyle feel and playfulness. Perfect for all mountain and freestyle / park riders.
• Directional
  Directional snowboards are designed to ride in one direction most of the time as they generally feature a set back stance and a directional side cut / flex pattern. These boards still ride absolutely fine in both directions so switch landings are not a problem. If you want an all mountain / big mountain charger that can still ride the park then these are the way to go.
• Tapered
  Tapered snowboards have a slightly wider nose enabling them to rise up above deep powder. The tail section is relatively narrow to enable it to sink down into the pow without too much rear leg burn. Other performance characteristics are similar to those of a directional snowboard but riding switch is slightly less easy. These boards are designed to be used for freeriding both on and off piste.
• Swallowtail
  Swallowtail snowboards are specialist snowboards for use in deep powder. They feature a wider nose, much like on a tapered snowboard but the most noticeable design difference is in the tail section. They have a section cut out of the tail in order to completely sink the back in the deepest of pow pow. This also enables the most incredible turning performance in powder. If your going heli boarding or just obsessed with powder then one of these will be your perfect companion.

Base Materials  

The base materials used on a snowboard are extremely important because the base of a snowboard is what affects the glide and slide more than anything else. Some base materials will absorb wax more easily than others, some will take knocks and bumps better and some will be easier to repair.

Snowboard bases are made using one of 4 different types of material. You may see different grades or names used from each brand, however each one will fall into one of the four categories below.

• Sintered Hybrid
  Sintered hybrid bases are the most expensive bases on the market. These bases are manufactured in the exact same way as Sintered bases, however the polythene granules are mixed with carbon or other friction reducing properties to create bases that are lightning fast and super durable.
• Sintered
  Sintered bases represent the premium end of snowboard and ski construction. Granules of polythene are ground to powder, then heated and compressed onto your core. A sintered base is much more durable, faster and hold wax much more efficiently giving you a faster ride! Unfortunately you do pay more for this type of construction but its well worth it.
• Extruded Hybrid
  AKA Sintruded, Extrintered, Impact and the list goes on. These bases use the same construction as an Extruded base, however the p-tex plastic is generally much higher grade or infused with another chemical to make it harder or more durable.
• Extruded
  An extruded base is constructed from a single sheet of p-tex plastic and then forced through a mould in the shape of your snowboard or skis, thus creating a single sheet of plastic which is then glued to the core of your board. Extruded bases are extremely easy to maintain if you decided to tear yourself a new hole, which is why they are generally found on entry/intermediate level boards and rail specific boards.

Special Features

• Reactive Flex
  The technology allows the boards base to convex on its own as the board flexes. If you ride rails, the edge will lift up by itself to make sure you never catch an edge. Equally, when you carve hard into a turn, the board will concave to rail harder into the snow and create amazing edge hold.
• Seamless Sidewalls
  A one piece sidewall is fused to the core increasing durability, impact absorption and minimises sidewall damage whilst reducing vibration to give a stable and comfortable ride. It also dramatically reduces the chances of delaminations and improves overall strength too. Learn all about the massive advantages of Seamless Sidewalls.
• Raised Contact Points
  Raised contact points create a looser and much more playful and forgiving ride that locks in solid when you engage your edge in a turn. Great in pow, soft snow, park or anywhere else you take your board - Raised contact points make for a incredibly versatile snowboard.
• Edge Hold Tech
  These boards all promote enhanced edge hold, through the use of different sidecut radiuses or additional contact points / bumps in the edge. This will improve grip on ice and hard-pack and means edges don't need to be as sharp.
• Asymmetrical
  Asymmetrical snowboards have different side-cut shapes on each side of the snowboard. The toe and heel edges are therefore a different shape. The toe edge tends to be fairly standard like on most other snowboards but the heel side may have a smaller sidecut radius, a longer effective edge and possibly a different bevel and contact angles. These are all designed to give you more power and control when riding on your heelside - so your heel side turns feel more like toe side turns. Turning on heelside is a little trickier than toe side so an asymmetrical snowboard really helps.
• ECO Construction
  ECO boards are friendly to the environment by using a variety of construction methods which minimise their carbon footprint. Natural fibers are used extensively through these boards design and often create a more durable product that out performs other traditional techniques.
• Flat Kicks
  AKA, skate kicks or radius to flat. These boards feature an abbrupt nose and tail to allow the snow to be dispursed evenly in powder. This is a great feature for snowboarders who are looking for a freestyle orientated snowboard that will still perform extremely well in the powder.
• Downsizeable
  Downsizeable Snowboards have an extended effective edge, which means you can downsize a few cm's from the usual size you ride. For example, if you are usually on a 160cm board, you will find that a 158cm board with an extended effective edge will feel like a 160cm, but will have the added advantage of reduced swing weight and more maneuverability.
• Magnetraction
  Magnetraction is the name given to the wave pattern you get on some snowboard edges. It is a useful feature on reverse camber snowboards because it gives them more grip, bite and edge control. Without magnetraction some reverse camber snowboards would be difficult to ride because it is the magnetraction which enables their edges to really engage with the snow.
  
  Magnetraction edges have strategically located and sized ridges along each side of the snowboard. The biggest ridges are between your feet where your balance is centred, adding maximum control and power where you need it most. The ridges outside your feet are smaller and less aggressive, providing tip and tail control, while maintaining freestyle freedom. Another neat feature of Magnetraction is the fact that you can run your edges de-tuned, but still have loads of grip - this makes hitting boxes and rails much easier!
• Lightweight
  These boards have been classified as lightweight after our team tested these boards and believe they feel featherweight underfoot. Lightweight boards are extremely easy to control and have an increased feeling of pop when when you need it.
• Hand Made
  Few and far between. Hand made snowboards are the very top end of the market and offer some of the finest produced decks available. These boards tend to come with a longer warranty and use the very finest materials. Unfortunately you do pay more for these boards but the results are well worth it.
