Snowboard

Which equipment is best for me?

# When it comes to snowboards:

We have a wide range of snowboards, from children's snowboards, to women's or men's all-mountain snowboards, freestyle, freeride or Splitboards.

Children's snowboards will be very easy to choose, take a board under your nose for a beginner, and a good level will know perfectly which size to choose.

All mountain snowboards will be more cut for small and big curves, with smaller spokes for good carving, to be taken between chin and nose.

Freestyles snowboards will be twin Tip, equal in front and back rib lines, thin enough to have less material to turn, to take between the chin and the nose.

For freeride snowboards, with their big rocker, you'll have to take them over your nose to get better floatability in powder.

Splitboards will have to be shorter than the nose, in order to facilitate conversions, they will be heavier than traditional snowboards because of the hiking equipment.

# Which boots to choose?

You have several types of boots, for each level and each discipline, to sum up, the boots with a low flex index are soft, perfect for beginners, allowing you to push the tongue of the boot with your shin, in contrast the high flex is a hyper rigid flex for more experienced riders, with more power.

We recommend that our customers make an appointment in store with our bootfitters for a free and complete analysis of your feet.

# What type of binding to choose?

Most snowboard bindings are sold separately, nowadays all bindings are compatible with all boards, but be careful with BURTON!

Bindings differ in stiffness and straps used, some have a metal base, some have a rigid plastic base, some have Vibram straps, some do not.

Finally there are the splitboard bindings, to be categorized differently as they are rather heavy for most of them except for the top of the range models.
