Rocker: The profile is curved from the nose to the tail creating a rounded, rounded edge. This is ideal for rails and powder. It has a higher pop, smoother riding at moderate speed and increased edge holding for greater stability.
Camber: This is an asymmetrical flex design with contact points at the tips and tails. It maximizes pop, energy transfer, and grip on rails. It's perfect for freestyle and trick riding, and it helps you initiate turns quickly and smoothly.
Flat: A flat profile along the length of the snowboard allows for a smoother, more comfortable ride. It's a good choice for beginners, and it will allow you to get more float on soft snow.
Big Mountain - If you want to explore the backcountry or take on some epic mountains, a big Mountain style snowboard will be perfect for you. The versatile design can be used either on the groomed ski slopes or can be divided in half to form skis for untracked mountainsides.
Downhill: For riders who like to race downhill, this is the perfect board for you. The board has a more pronounced pattern of flex than other styles. This means that it will move more quickly downhill and be more responsive.
These snowboards are all incredibly fun and great for riders who want to experience a wide range of riding conditions. Your ride will be more memorable and fun, and you'll return to your favorite mountain every year.

You do this by pushing your legs against the ground, pulling your back leg upwards and kicking your front foot forward. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.

Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. You can practice controlling your speed by measuring your speed using timing or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
