Snowboard Bindings

The type of binding you will need will be determined by the boot you chose. Hard boots require 'plate' bindings which clip onto the toe and heel. You will need a 'shell' or 'freestyle' binding for soft boots.

Unlike ski bindings most snowboard bindings do not release in a fall. As both feet are attached to snowboards there are less rotary fractures and sprains than you get with skiing...

Snowboard Boots

Snowboard boots come in two categories: hard and soft. You could use either for learning but those people with a skiing background generally feel most comfortable starting with hard boots, whereas keen skateboarders prefer the soft boots. Soft boots are essential for halfpipe, freestyle and jumping, whereas hard boots are best for high-speed carving on hard snow and for the big mountain exploration.
