Everyone has their own preferences for snowboard style and board type. Whether you prefer park snowboarding, all mountain, or powder, we have board recommendations for you.
To find the best of the best 2017-18 snowboards we asked our SheShreds ambassadors and board experts what they prefer. We then reviewed the snowboards and put together this list of our top choices for each riding style. We hope to help you find a snowboard that rides great and is unique to you.
All-mountain snowboards are meant for park, powder, and hill riding. While we understand that it wouldn’t be perfect in all aspects of riding. They are very well equipped to do a bit of everything.
This board is very versatile and has a great pop in the park but also has a killer carve through the powder and trees. The board has an asymmetrical twin shape with an even deeper heelside cut. Featuring the rocker/camber/rocker shape, it has a ripsaw rocker camber profile. The Proto Type Two has a medium flex which means it has pop but also can hold deep carves. It’s the perfect board for any kind of riding you would like.
Ambassador Emily Lonkhurst says:
“The proto is a great all mountain board that’s still maneuverable and fun.”
Just right for: A rider who wants to progress in all aspects of snowboarding. It is most recommended for an intermediate to experienced rider. The board has a medium flex perfect for carving and jump lines. However, it is not the right board for primarily park riders.
On this board, you can rip just about anything you choose. It has a freestyle inspired true twin shape with a responsive flex pattern. It has more of a medium-stiff flex. So while it may not be very good with presses, you’ll have a killer carve and an easy landing on jumps. You will have confidence at higher speeds and a great time on this board. How could you not love it? Also the graphics are so rad!
