When it comes to snowboards, there are a lot of things to consider. First and foremost, youll need to decide what kind of riding youll be primarily doing with the board. Some rippers want to hit steep, backcountry lines at full speed and need a board that can turn on a dime. Those riders will want to check out freeride and powder boards. Others like to lap the park and hit jibs, which means they need a board that can flex enough to give them the pop they need. Theyll want to ride freestyle or park boards. The most common type of rider is the weekend warrior who rides a little bit of everything and may not want to pack around multiple boards. The best boards for those riders will be all-mountain boards, boards that do excel in all types of terrain. Rest assured, no matter what type of rider you are, theres a board at Tactics for you.
Snowboard binding technology has come a long way since we started in 99. From Burtons Step-On system to Unions Exoframe 4.0 straps, theres tons of options for the latest tech. Yet at their core, all bindings do the same basic function; attach your foot to your board securely so you can shred without worries. Similarly to snowboards, bindings come in different types that excel in different conditions and riding styles. Pair your bindings with the same type of snowboard as you for optimal performance.
When it comes to new snowboard gear, experts will tell you that it all starts with the boots. If your feet arent happy, chances are you wont be either while on the mountain. Correct sizing is the name of the game.
