I believe snowboarding is just as much art as it is sport. We, as snowboarders, are all artists and we each express our art in unique ways. The mountain is our canvas and the brush strokes are our turns and maneuvers. Style is how and where we choose to make those brush stokes to create our unique way of coming down the mountain.
With the enormous variety of snowboards available on the market, how do you choose the right snowboard shape for your riding style? There are a few key questions you can ask yourself to help narrow down which board will best serve you.
For freestyle snowboarding, I recommend Twin shape, which has equal tail and nose length versus directional, which has a slightly longer nose and a slightly shorter tail. Having equal nose and tail length allows you to take off and land tricks both natural and switch (i.e., with your natural back leg forward), which is a key part of freestyle.
