Snowboards

Manufacturers have developed to the stage where manufacturers offer the right board to suit each snowboarding discipline. Now a snowboarder is confronted with a large diversity of product. The choice can confuse the beginner.

There are three main groups of snowboards: All-around board; Alpine race board (asymmetrical) and the Freestyle board. There are also three methods of construction: Foam method (injection method); Compound method and the Sandwich method with wooden core. The laminated sandwich method is the most expensive to produce. The quality is unsurpassed and they have longevity.

There are two different procedures for mounting bindings onto the boards offered by manufacturers. The binding can be screwed into brass inserts or the binding is screwed into the snowboard in the binding area with special screws.
