You can’t huck big air without good gear. The right snowboard will make the halfpipe seem like a child’s toy. Jibbin will be easier and more fun. For this year’s best men’s freestyle boards check out the Burton Dominant, the Ride Kink or the K2 WWW. For women's freestyle it doesn’t get better than the Ride Fever, the Burton GTwin, or the K2 Mix.

For men’s all mountain freeride boards don’t miss the K2 Darkstar or the Ride Prophet. Women will love the Burton Feelgood, the Ride Vista or the K2 Luna. Snowboarding has made some huge progressions over the past few years in board design and production. Don’t get stuck on your best run with a mediocre board. You’ll wish you visited Christy Sports Board Shop sooner!
