What size should I choose for my Park&Ride?
In Freestyle, you can take a board that's fairly short: -20 to -25cm (for example, someone 1m74 tall can take a board between 154 and 149 cm).
Going shorter makes it easier to rotate and perform tricks. If you're taller, you'll be more stable at high speeds and on landing jumps.
The Park & Ride is a fairly short board. Size 158 Wide is ideal for taller riders.
152 cm => 1.67 to 1.77 m
153 cm MID WIDE => from 1m68 to 1m78
156cm: 1m71-1m81
158 cm WIDE => from 1m78 to 1m90
Glide quality: sintered sole
The soles are made of polyethylene, but using 2 different technical processes:
- extruded sole, with a certain density of polyethylene
- sintered sole, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE)
A sintered sole is the Rolls Royce of soles. The glide is really fantastic.
What is the Wide in snowboarding?
A Wide board is a board that is wider than normal to prevent the big feet from touching the snow during a turn and causing you to fall, or to increase buoyancy in powder snow. Wide is measured by the width of the board at the center.
At Décathlon, we have defined:
- up to 245 mm : narrow board / feet 36 to 40
- from 246 mm to 255 mm : normal board / feet 38 to 42
- from 256 mm to 265 mm : Mid Wide / feet 41 to 44
- from 266 mm : Wide / feet 43 to 49
Setback 20 mm
Setback is when the board's support points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the center of the board, but are shifted backwards. The bindings are then also shifted backwards by the same distance.
20 mm setback = a very slight kickback, a versatile board that's almost centered for riding in both directions, but also for balance when turning in the air and on piste.
Powder stance with 60mm setback for increased floatability
