What Are Freeride Snowboards For?
Freeride snowboards give you the freedom to ride through virtually any terrain. They are intended for the riders who tend to spend most of their day off groomed runs. They are typically stiffer-flexing and directional to help perform in more steep, challenging, ungroomed terrain or in the backcountry. Because of their stiffer-flex, they become less forgiving in situations you might encounter in the park, which is what separates them apart from a typical park board. They hold up reliably at higher speeds for straight-lining and carving, but still deliver exceptional float in differing snow conditions.
When deciding on a freeride snowboard, it’s helpful to consider the following:
• Flex: Medium-stiff to stiff for stability, quick response, control and carving
• Shape: Directional and tapered, with a setback stance to give riders floatation in powder and slush snow conditions.
