Freestyle Snowboards
Freestyle snowboards are usually designed softer for boxing over rails or kicking in fun parks. They are also slightly shorter in length, which makes them suitable for beginners. For those who like to ride big kickers, freestyle boards with a higher degree of hardness offer more control, but require advanced riding skills. Mostly, freestyle boards are offered in a twin shape. Tip and tail are identical and the bindings are positioned exactly in the middle, so that backward and forward riding are equally well possible.
Medium
The flex of a snowboard describes how hard or soft the snowboard is. The right flex depends on your individual ability. Medium snowboards are suitable for advanced snowboarders as they offer more support and are suitable for all piste conditions. They are in the golden mean between forgiving and aggressive. This gives them a certain hardness that controls the edges when carving, but they are not too stiff for freestyle tricks and slopes. In short: they are perfect for all-mountain adventures.
Directional
Directional boards are the classics. They have an asymmetrical shape and usually have different tips and tails in favor of a more generous tip. This improves flotation in deep snow. The longer tip also provides more power for carving. The transfer from you to your board and onto the snow is therefore more direct and significantly more powerful. The sidecut is also designed to provide better forward guidance. A directional board is therefore ideal for all those who like to go off-piste, ride fast, carve and make Vitelli turns their favorite moves.
