Men's Freestyle & All-Mountain Snowboard - SNB 100

I bought 2 boards the other week for a trip to Austria, I’m 6ft 4in and based on weight rather than height, I got the Allroad 500 163cm that I’d ordered and just because the decathlon branch actually had one in stock, I bought the SNB100 at the same time in the 160MW as it’s s

o cheap. Third day of my trip to Austria, where it was 10 degrees and the snow was more like granulated ice form a slush puppy and not fluffy and powdery as I was hoping for to make use of the Allroad500, I changed to the SNB100 and then the fun began! This board just fills you with confidence! Never caught an edge, even on flat boring sections, super easy to throw around, bites fairly well on ice and was impressive quick with the factory wax. I topped out at 40mph without too much board chatter and with some lovely big carves and I had no fear of not being able to stop. Technically, I’d say I’m an all mountain boarder, not phased by parks and tricks, just like to eat up the miles and the elevation, find some tree lines and this board puts a smile on your face doing it. Being a midwide it’s good for the larger footed rider at the expense of some agility, as the board is wider in the middle, but it didn’t hesitate to do what I asked of it! Yes the Allroad500 carves better (if you work a bit more for it) and when the powder days occur on my next trip, I’ll probably get more use on that board, but as my every day board, the SNB100 with flat camber and rockers on either end just encouraged me to improve my skills and gave me confidence to venture anywhere on the mountain, just not the 78% HaraKiri, but that’s not the boards fault, I’m sure it would give it a go! 6ft4in, 82kg, size 10 boots. Budget conscious, intermediate/advanced rider.
