This one’s for new kids on the block. Recent years have seen brands become increasingly experimental in their shapes and constructions, often fusing the styles of pre-existing models in the line or supercharging some of their fan favourites. If you’re the kind of rider who likes to stay on the frontline of innovation, here’s your category.
“Each season sees a host of exciting new products to get you stoked for riding”
With huge leaps in new technology, materials and manufacturing processes for snowboards, each season sees a host of exciting new products to get you stoked for riding. This year, more than ever before, we’ve seen brands push the limits and shift the paradigms of what we thought was possible.
Our Test Team spent last winter riding every snowboard they could get their hands on, from powder hogs to park noodles, so whether you’re looking for something weird and wonderful, or a reimagined classic, here’s our top picks for the best new snowboards for 2020/21.
