2010 SNOWBOARD
BUYER’SGUIDEBy now you’ve probably gone into the garage, taken one look at your monoski and gumboots combo and thought, ‘this just isn’t going to cut it this winter.’ Luckily the foldout gem you’re currently holding will guide you through the difficult process of picking out new gear for the upcoming snow sliding season. So without further ado open this puppy up and get peeping.

LENGTH: Board length is a simple concept. If you are a Chewbacca kind of tall then you’ll be after a slightly longer board; if you are of a more Yoda-esque stature then a smaller board will suit you just fine. Bad Star Wars gags aside, smaller boards are best suited for jibbing and park riding where a longer board will shine in pow and freeriding conditions. If the tip of the board meets your nose you’ve got a happy medium. WIDTH: Chosing the right board width is crucial for eliminating T.D. syndrome. Those of you who have suffered from T.D. (or toe drag) will know how debilitating it really is. If your hooves hang over the side of your board you will certainly become a victim. The easiest way to combat it is to invest in a board that is wide enough to cover those tootsies of yours. A wider board will cut through deep snow and slush alike, where its anorexic counterpart will serve you better for edge to edge contact and snappy turns.
SIDECUT: This is what makes a snowboard a snowboard and not an awkward plank of wood. That curve that runs down each side of your shred board is the sidecut. Without it you ain’t going nowhere but straight down. As soon as your edge is raised the sidecut kicks in and aids turning. A tighter sidecut will make the board more apt for quick turns, a mellower sidecut will lead to longer cruisy turns. FLEX: Think of board flex as if it were your personality. Are you mellow, free spirited and maybe shower a little less than most? A softer board could be right up your alley. Or are you slightly intense and like your music at 6000 beats per minute? Something stiffer will suit you just fine. Softer boards with more flex are your best option for park and jibbing. Stiffer boards are better off if you spend most of your time freeriding or doing those fancy double corks in the pipe.
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Some kind of rocker or reverse camber technology is now used by pretty much every snowboard company in the game, look at any buyer’s guide and the words ‘rocker’ will appear on nearly every board. These boards come in many guises, but simply put, the nose and tail are less weighted and the emphasis of the pressure is focused under and between your feet, rather than at the end of your board. The result is a more forgiving ride. Best bet when deciding on rocker or a conventional camber board is to head to your local store and have a chinwag with the knowledgeable shop heads.

This piece of equipment is somewhat self explanatory. Without them you’re better off staying at home and listening to talkback radio with Michael Laws. Or are you? When picking out bindings refer back to your choice of board stiffness; bindings work on the same rule. A stiffer binding will be more responsive, a softer binding will be more forgiving.

8 MM#38 2010 Snowboard Buyer’s Guide
BOOTSBoots are as underrated as a good peanut butter sandwich. Get the wrong boots and it could put you off snowboarding for life. Every movement your body makes on a board is transferred through your boots and onto your snowboard. Some simple advice when picking out boots is always try them on. Try a wide scope before picking the right boot for you. Sizing is of utmost importance; don’t let your mum tell you that you’ll grow into them. Toes should nearly touch the end of your boot but still be able to wiggle around, and when the boot is done up your heel should stay firmly in the bottom of the boot. Boot technology is evolving just as much as boards are. Quick lacing and BOA are new standards, BOA being steel laces that are done up simply by the twist of a dial, and quick lacing is generally two pull-strings which lace the whole boot up at once.

12 MM#38 2010 Snowboard Buyer’s Guide
OUTERWEARWhile you’re trying on those trendy supertight leopard print pants try to remember you are going to be snowboarding, and that people have to look at you. Also being on the mountain generally involves cold temperatures, wetness and snow. Rocket science aside, I would recommend buying something that keeps you warm and dry, and that doesn’t constrict your extremities. After all, this is an extreme sport.
WATERPROOFING AND BREATHABILITY: Here in New Zealand we face some rather variable weather conditions and although that minx Toni Marsh might seem sure that it’s going to be sunny up the hill tomorrow, it might be the complete opposite. Factor this in when choosing outerwear. Those numbers on the tag (5,000–30,000) relate to the waterproof or breathability qualities of the garment; the bigger the number, the better. FEATURES: Gizmos. Do you need them when you’re out riding? Remember to ask yourself this question before passing over those hard earned dineros on a jacket that has a NASA clearance. Think about when and where you’re actually going snowboarding and whether or not those extra features are superfluous to your needs. If spring shreddery tickles your fancy then lighter shell garments will be more your style. Mid-winter snowboarding requires warmer, more insulated clothing.
