What is a good snowboard?

What is a good snowboard for beginners?

  • This winter I'm wanting to learn to snowboard. In your opinion, what is the best, or a good, board for beginners?

  • Answer:

    If i where you, I would head to the board shop and find whatever is on clearance. There is no reason to buy anything expensive to learn on. It is good to learn on a shorter board that is somewhere between your mid-neck and mouth. Also look for a board that isn't very stiff. Gooshy boards are more forgiving and are great for beginners.

If you've never snowboarded before I really recommend renting a board first to make sure you like it and will stick with it. After you've tried it out look for a board that is flexible. Some great boards are: -Forum Recon http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/FRM0146/Forum-Recon-Snowboard.html -K2 Anagram http://www.evogear.com/outlet/snowboards/k2-anagram-snowboard-2008.aspx -Ride Control http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/RDE0059/Ride-Control-Snowboard.html Hope It Goes Good :)

I have taught a lot of people to snowboard Two things... 1. Rent a board at least once before you buy one no matter what. It is a lot harder to learn than you think. Make sure you like it first. 2. Even after you have rented a few times and you are making progress, I STILL recommend you to go to a used sports equiptment store and buy a cheapy for the first entire season. This way you can see how much during the season you actually go and how far you get this year. 3. Next year buy your first real board IF you went a lot this year and you have enough skill where the $400-$1000 investment will be worth it

I really love the Palmer P-line as a beginners board. It is very easy to ride but is also constructed very well. I feel like it is the superior board in its class. http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Palmer-P-Line-17766.asp. Another popular one this year is the Forum Recon. This won an award by Future Snowboarding mag at the beginning of the season and proved to be a big hit. http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Forum-Recon-Insert-17271.asp. Those are just two of many great beginners snowboards. If you email me with some more info or post in the "Ask Our Staff" thread on http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/forum/ I would be happy to further assist you. Cheers, Sierra Crew
