Freeride+Snowboards

A Freeride Snowboard is one of the most popular snowboard types. It is designed to handle all-mountain terrain, half-pipes and parks. This board is best suited for powder surfaces.4It gives riders the ability for easy carving, tricks, and any other riding aspect. It is the most versatile of the snowboards. Freeride Snowboards a usually fairly soft and manoeuvrable, which is suitable for beginners. However, they are also stiff enough to hold a fast turn in hard snow. This type of snowboard stands right between a Freestyle board and an Alpine board.5 

Freeride boards have a directional shape, meaning the shape and height of the snowboard's tip differs from the shape and height of its tale. The tail is usually more narrow, shorter, and flatter than the tip of the board. They are meant to be ridden primarily in one direction, which is left foot forward, because the stance is offset toward the tail of the board. This is the best type of board to start off with for beginners. 6
