Riding style:
Riding style describes the terrain and type of riding a snowboard is designed to suit.
All-mountain. Balances groomed runs, changing snow and a variety of riding situations.
Freestyle and park. Focuses on tricks, jumps, rails and riding switch, with your usual back foot leading.
Freeride and powder. Favours natural terrain or deeper snow, with shapes designed for control and flotation.
Carving. Emphasises grip and sustained turns on groomed slopes.
These categories overlap. Compare shape, profile, flex and size to understand boards with the same riding-style label.
