Choosing Your Snowboard: Which profile and why?
The choice of snowboard shapes and profiles is ever increasing, which is in stark contrast to when many of our staff learnt to ride. This was at a time when one dominant profile existed, called camber, which had resulted directly from ski technology. However, while you could see the complexity of current ranges as a hindrance we would make a case that choice is a great thing in enabling you to make better informed decisions and thus ensure you end up with the right board to hit the mountains. In this guide we cover the varying camber and rocker styles, the reasons behind their creation and resulting performance. Sit down, grab a brew and enjoy!
