Snowboard Reviews

Snowboard reviews are silly

Everyone has their own take on every board – with different levels of experience, confidence, riding style, terrain choice and snow conditions, so what someone hates the next might love.

Everything on this site and YouTube channel is from my experience, which will hopefully make it a bit easier to compare the differences between boards.

I do this for fun, it is just a hobby – so I am not out there trying to ride hundreds of boards for a lap or two, just for the sake of it.

I would rather ride a board for a longer time to get a good idea of how it works, rather than just get some quick impressions after a couple of laps. Hopefully this ends up with a more helpful, detailed review that makes choosing a board a little easier.

Although I don’t make a video review for every board, I do try and make them as often as I have time for. They take a long time to film and edit, so there aren’t tons of them.

Even if there isn’t a video review for the exact board you are looking at, there are plenty where you can see my riding – to give you an idea of my experience.

My preferences in snowboards

I definitely have my own preferences and biases in the boards I ride. In general, I like medium stiff boards that have a directional shape, camber under the feet and a little bit of taper. Same with bindings, I like them to have a medium to stiff overall flex.

Review style

It might seem like my reviews are generally positive, which is true. Because I do this for fun, I am out there riding boards that I want to ride, that I expect I would like.
