SNOWBOARDING STYLE
FREERIDE
For intermediate and advanced riders who head off trail. These board are predictable, stable and almost always directional in terms of board shape and stance and tend to be stiffer in flex.
ALL-MOUNTAIN
For all ability levels, these boards let you ride the entire mountain, and are also a good option for beginners. This type of board comes in a very wide range of shapes, camber profiles, and flex patterns.
FREESTYLE/PARK
For all ability levels, these boards are friendly due to softer flexing. Best for the terrain park and doing jumps, rails and all round playful snowboarding. They tend to be true twin in terms of shape and flex and often have a blunter nose.
SPLIT/TOURING
For intermediate - advanced riders who want to experience total freedom in the back country. The board splits into two halves for travelling uphill or touring, and then transforms back into a snowboard, ready for a well-deserved descent through untracked powder.
BOARD PROFILES

ROCKER:  Ideal board for a learner or beginner. At low speeds rocker snowboards are playful to ride, and also great in powder.

FLAT BASE:  Flat base boards have no bend through the body and therefore go fast if running into a straight line, however when turning they are not as responsive as a camber profile board.

CAMBER:  For an experienced snowboarder. When laid flat, these have a slight upward curve towards the centre of the board. Camber snowboards offer precise edge hold, are powerful into and out of the turn and are very stable and responsive.

HYBRID:  Hybrid profiles with rocker tip and tail are designed to give the best of both worlds, with power and edge hold through camber under foot, providing easier turns and float. A hybrid snowboard is an all-rounder and happy medium that isn't overly specific to any particular terrain.

SIZING
As a general rule, if you stand a board on its tail the nose of the board should reach
somewhere between your nose and chin.

We suggest you get your snowboard boots first before you buy your board or bindings. They will help determine if your require a wider style of board. You can have the best board in the world and you'll still have a bad day if your feet aren't comfortable.​
BINDINGS

UNIVERSAL:  This type of base plate works with numerous types of board mounting systems including Burton channel system boards, and typically comes with Burton bindings (except EST)

4 SCREW:  Most snowboard bindings available use the standard 4 screw mounting system. The screw size and hole spread are standardized across virtually all snowboards meaning your bindings
will be compatible with whatever board you decide to attach them to (excluding Burton channel system & 3 screw mounting snowboards).

3 SCREW:  Some Burton snowboards have triangle binding mount configuration requiring only 3 screws to attach each binding. You will most likely need to use a Burton binding.

BURTON EST:  Only compatible with the Burton channel system. The bindings attach by two screws only, and in turn offer better board flex under foot, and improved adjustability.

SKIING STYLE
ALL-MOUNTAIN
For hitting all sections of the mountain. The central mid waist of the ski typically measures 81mm – 93mm.
FREESTYLE
For people who spend most of their time skiing at the terrain park. Twin tipped rocker tip & tail for hitting and land tricks/jumps.
FREERIDE
Designed for spending a lot of time on ungroomed trails, this type of ski can carve & cut through anything – powder or spring slush.
ON-PISTE
Also known as front side skis, they are built to maximise your capabilities on groomed slopes, so you can go hard and fast. Narrow waist up to 80mm.
SKI PROFILES

If the ski sweeps up toward the tip and tail, it’s called rocker. If the ski only touches at the tip and tail and the middle is lifted, it’s called camber.

ROCKER:  Rocker lifts the wider parts of the ski off the snow which gives a “catch free” feeling when running the ski flat and transitioning from edge to edge. It also creates lift in soft snow to help initiate the turn.

CAMBER:  Camber gives a spring effect to a ski. As you load it up with weight and the forces of gravity, a cambered ski will naturally want to return to its original position. This helps propel you from one turn to another.

SIZING
The tip of the ski should reach between your nose and eyebrows when the tail is standing on the ground.​

BINDINGS
Ski bindings are very technical so it’s best to speak to one of our expert team members to help find the right bindings for you, but here’s a good place to start.

HEEL:  Engages the binding with downward force. The boot is released by pushing down at the tail.

TOE:  The toe holds the front of the boot in place, and has an anti-friction device (AFD) for smooth boot release.

BRAKE:  Parallel when engaged, but digs into the snow when released, preventing your ski from moving forward. These should always be at least as wide as the waist of your ski so that they clear the edges. Skis will mention three dimensions e.g. 115/90/112, so in this case the width underfoot is 90mm.

DIN SETTING:  How aggressive you ride determines how strong the binding needs to be as well as the DIN value. The lower the DIN value, the less force is required for release. A higher DIN range is typically suited to more aggressive or expert skiers. Skiing ability and style, as well as height and weight will determine the appropriate DIN range.

MOUNTING:  Bindings must be mounted by a trained technician if not pre-mounted. This is FREE at our Snow Workshops for all products purchased at Torpedo7.
