Popular Freestyle Snowboards

Ready to jump, grind, and bend? Our Freestyle 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.

The Skate Banana Snowboard is a revolutionary board that has redefined modern snowboarding design. Featuring the iconic "Banana Tech" rocker/camber hybrid contour, this board offers versatility and performance, making it easy to ride and fun for all levels. With its FSC certified Aspen/Paulownia core, sintered knife cut base, and Magne-Traction serrated edges, the Skate Banana is the perfect board for progression, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro.

“
The Skate Banana’s shape, style, and technical design has been ahead of its time for nearly 20 years. It’s a standout park board with Magne Traction that peels the rest of the mountain, too. When sized up, it’s a serious powder board, cut from a lineage of loud graphics and American-made, banana-cambered power.

“
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.

“
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.
