Soulside Snowboard - 2025 - Women's

The AmpTek Auto-Turn profile combines rocker and camber shapes to enhance your riding experience. With 30% rocker and 40% camber, this design allows for easier turns and better floatation in powder, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced riders who want versatility on the slopes.

A directional twin snowboard is symmetrical in shape but is designed to be ridden primarily in one direction. This means you can enjoy the benefits of freestyle tricks while also having the stability needed for all-mountain riding. It’s perfect for riders who want a balance of versatility and performance.

The flex rating indicates how stiff or soft a snowboard is, with a scale from 1 (very soft) to 10 (very stiff). A board with a flex rating of 3 is softer, making it easier to maneuver and more forgiving for beginners or freestyle riders. If you prefer stability and control at high speeds, you might want to consider a stiffer board.

The effective edge is the portion of the snowboard that contacts the snow when you’re turning. A longer effective edge provides better grip and stability, especially during turns. This means you can carve more effectively and maintain control, which is crucial for both beginners and advanced riders.

Waist width is the narrowest part of the snowboard and influences how the board handles. A wider waist width offers more stability and floatation in powder, making it great for off-piste riding. Conversely, a narrower waist width allows for quicker turns and is often preferred by riders who focus on agility and tricks.

When selecting a snowboard size, consider your height, weight, and riding style. A longer board typically provides more stability and speed, while a shorter board is easier to maneuver. Additionally, check the effective edge and waist width to ensure the board fits your boots and riding preferences for optimal performance.
