Skiing isn’t hard to pick up as a first timer, but snowboarding is notoriously difficult for those starting out. If you’ve mastered the bunny slope, it’s time to move up from the rental and get one of these boards designed for the beginner.
Nitro Prime
The flat-edged Nitro Prime makes for a smooth ride that won’t catch any edges. Built for all terrain, the board has a pop Nitro’s famous for, while remaining durable and low maintenance.
Yes Basic
Yes Basic is exactly what it sounds like: basic. It’s a no-frills snowboard that features a full poplar cammock design that has a firm yet forgiving feel. If you want something that’s good to learn on, but will last you until the intermediate stage, go with this.
Capita Horrorstroke
The Horrorstroke is Capita’s snowboard built for park riders. Its higher molecular composition and fiberglass build make it durable for beginners, who will also appreciate the de-tuned edges and flat-to-reverse camber, allowing for easy spins and smooth turning.
Burton Clash
A favorite for beginners, the Burton Clash has a slightly tapered end to make carving easier. If you go with the EST bindings, you can experiment with your stance and board feel.
Salomon Sight
Like the Yes Basic, this is a no-frills board that has an emphasis on stability and easy turning, though it’s more expensive than most beginner boards.
