What size should I choose for my Endzone 500?
In Freestyle, you can take a board that is fairly short: -20 to -25 cm (for example, a 1m70 girl can take a board between 150 and 145 cm).
Taking a shorter board makes it easier to rotate and perform tricks. If you go taller, you'll be more stable at high speeds and on landing jumps.
146 cm => 1m60 to 1m71
151 cm => 1m69 to 1m76
156 cm WIDE => from 1m74 to 1m81
A word from the product manager
The Endzone 500 is the most playful board in the range. We wanted it to be easy to handle, but also freestyle: technical, playful, easy to handle and fun.
We like this board a lot, but the most important thing is that you like it! Don't hesitate to let us know what you think of it through our customer reviews.
Program and practice area
The Endzone 500 carves less well on the track than the Allroad 500, but is very playful in the park, whether on the rail, the flat or the jump lines. On the piste, it's very maneuverable in small turns and offers a pretext for playing on all edges of the piste. Thanks to its flat camber with rocker and supple torsion between the feet, it's suitable for the very good rider looking for a playful board, but also for a true beginner interested in freestyle.
Snowboard twintip
The shape of the snowboard is TwinTip. The board's rib lines are completely symmetrical between front and back, providing perfect symmetry and centering of the board's features for riding in both directions equally. A TwinTip shape also provides complete balance for rotations on the ground and in the air.
Flat camber + rocker
A flat camber is the best compromise between the classic camber, which provides grip and dynamism, and an inverted camber, which provides rotational maneuverability but little grip. It's perfect for park freestylers and beginners alike, because:
- The flat camber brings stability on modules or on piste
- The rocker brings forgiveness in park and piste because the 4 corners of the board don't touch the snow when the board is flat.
Flexible flex (5/10)
Flex is the stiffness of the board from front to back.
The Board endzone 500 has a flex of around 5/10, which is forgiving and playful. This type of flex is very homogeneous from nose to tail, offering playful behavior in the park and on the piste. On the other hand, at high speed or on very icy snow, this board won't hold a nice cut turn as well.
Flexible and forgiving twisting
Torsion, the stiffness of the board when twisted between the feet, is around 4/10 on the Endzone 500, giving the board an easy-to-grip, easy-to-turn, edge-tolerant feel. A soft twist gives the feet freedom. This is important for beginners: edge errors are forgiven. The soft twist is also suitable for freestyle jib or flat use. Perfect for shredding!
Setback 0 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.
0 mm setback = no setback, these are Twin Tip boards completely centered for riding in both directions, but also for balance when turning in the air and on the piste.
Recommended fasteners
With SNB 500 fasteners, the board + fastener assembly will be very homogeneous in terms of level and coherent in terms of design.
When should you wax your snowboard?
Decathlon snowboards leave the factory waxed.
They then require regular maintenance like all snowboards: ideally, wax every 5 outings and at least once a year:
- Either at the beginning of the season to start with a very good glide
- Or at the end of the season to let the wax protect the base throughout the summer.
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 Decathlon, we've 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
Can the store fit the bindings to my board?
Yes, there's a video on how to assemble the bindings in this product sheet, but you can ask your local store to assemble the bindings with your own settings. Remember to take your pair of snowboard boots with you to ensure 2 correct settings:
1. That of the binding from front to back, so that the boots don't protrude more from the toes than from the heel, or vice versa
2. The straps on your binding, which must fit snugly over your boots.
