Directional Snowboards

Directional snowboards are really great boards to ride. I've owned many and loved riding everyone of them. Unlike twin tip snowboards, they have uneven tail & nose. The tail is typically more narrow, shorter, and flatter than the nose.

Freeride Snowboarding is great, it is tons of fun. It reminds me of just hang out with friends ride'n some untouched powder fields. Most freeriding is done using a directional board. The typical snowboard stance for freeride'n is an off-centered snowboard stance. Where twin tip snowboards are made with binding holes evenly placed, directional boards have binding holes set up so the nose is longer. By setting your bindings back so the distance between your front binding & nose is longer than between your back binding and tail you will be able to ride above powder instead of digging into it.

Directional snowboards are rode in all types of ways. There really is no limit, they are ridden in halfpipes, parks, trees, backcountry... anything. Although switchstance snowboarding is easily done with a directional board, directionals are actually designed to be ridden in one direction (hence the name).

It's kind of like a whole different approach to snowboarding, it's cool. If you like making nice sweeping turns you might want to consider buying a directional snowboard. If your focus is more on tricks than making turns you should look more closely at buying a twin tip snowboard or maybe better yet you should check out the newest craze in snowboard design, Rocker Snowboards.
