Popular Men's Snowboards

Get ready to fly! Our snowboard reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with riders and gear experts to review each snowboard based on carving (how well the board turns on its edge and slices through the snow without skidding), speed (how easy it is to go fast), and switch (the ability to ride with either foot forward). We update our rankings weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect board for:
Riders who want a floaty nose, tight sidecut, and maxim power tail.

The Lib Tech T. Rice Orca Snowboard is a versatile all-mountain board designed for advanced riders seeking a blend of freestyle and freeride performance. Built with Travis Rice's input, the Orca features a directional shape with a floaty nose for powder days and a powerful tail with "Whale Tail Technology" for maximizing pop and stability. The tight 7-meter radius sidecut ensures trench-carving precision on hardpack, while the wide body allows for comfortable riding and effortless maneuvering.

A rare and advanced piece of snowboarding progression from Lib Tech. It’s a wide, directional snowboard designed for power. Riding low-angle powder is a blast thanks to all the added buoyancy underfoot—in spite of the fact this this board was built for the steepest, deepest runs on earth. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners, but it’s a great tool for bridging the gap into more advanced, all-terrain snowboarding when a rider is ready to challenge themselves.

When sized up, it’s a serious powder board, cut from a lineage of loud graphics and American-made, banana-cambered power.

Riders who want a board that is stable, agile, and easy to land.

The GNU Riders Choice Snowboard features the new 3-D Delightwood Asym Chip construction, which distributes energy to your edges, enhancing pop, power, and performance. The asymmetrical design, slightly wider widths, and C2 Hybrid contours provide exceptional rail control, floatability, and maneuverability. The eco-minded construction with poppy carbon ensures durability and longevity. With its rider-focused design, the GNU Riders Choice is a top-tier choice for any snowboarder.

I’ve ridden different versions of this board since 2005. I’m still impressed with its well-rounded radness every time I strap in. I prefer sizing up the length and width (166W) to chase deeper snow, but the extra weight doesn’t hold this board down in the park. It jumps, jibs, and hauls ass. One of the best, most consistent snowboard models ever produced.

The Rome SDS Ravine snowboard is a playful all-mountain board that excels in both powder and groomed terrain. With its Directional Diamond 3D nose, tapered shape, and Free-the-Ride Camber, the Ravine delivers exceptional floatation, maneuverability, and stability. The Carbon HotRods and Directional Double HotRods provide added responsiveness and pop. Whether you're carving turns or busting tricks, this board offers a fun and exciting ride. Available in both men's and women's models, the Ravine is perfect for riders seeking a reliable and versatile one-board.

This directional board is built around a large, powerful front end that helps it charge around the hill on a pow day. It’s width makes it a bit less responsive on hard pack (especially if your feet are small for the board) but if you’re comfortable throwing your weight around, you’re gonna love the extra size. It’s got pop in the pow—but I wouldn’t ride it in the park.
