It’s really hard to find a good snowboard for a little kid who rips. There’s plenty of boards for little kids who are just getting started – super soft, raised edges, flat camber, perhaps cheaper materials. But if your 8 year old is hitting boxes and rails in the park, shredding deep powder, and riding the double-blacks on the mountain, you’re likely looking for a board that can keep up with him – or at least give him the edge he needs to keep progressing.
Here are the boards that I’ve sifted out of the stack as being “non-beginner” boards. On many of these, it’s damn hard to tell – their websites give a marketing-y overview, with some catchwords, but don’t really explain who the board is designed for. If you have direct experience with any of these boards (or boards I haven’t covered) feel free to contact me!
I’ll be adding to the list below as I finish each new page.
