Gear-Up: A Guide to Basic Snowboard Gear
For some individuals snowboarding has replaced skiing as the winter sport of choice for some. Having evolved from techniques used in surfing and skateboarding, it has increased in popularity over the years.
A great workout, it tones the entire body while providing a cardiovascular workout that provides for strengthened heart muscles and improvement of oxygen delivery. It can be a great sport for those who want a physically demanding activity.
Shopping for a Snowboard
There is a lot involved in getting into snowboarding, not the least of which is snowboarding equipment. The list of this equipment can be quite long depending on the preparedness and seriousness of the snowboarder.
A snowboard is an absolute necessity for any snowboarder. A snowboard resembles a small surfboard, equipped with bindings. To find a snowboard that is right for you, first you must determine your own needs such as what kind of snowboarding you plans to do. There are several types including freestyle, freeride, and race. Each type of snowboarding requires a different type of board. There are many different sizes, brands and models – so be sure to shop around.
Additional items to consider when shopping for a snowboard include the length and width of the boards, tail and tip length and width, maximum stance, sidecut, ability to maneuver at high speeds, weight and sliders, or binding holes. There are also women’s specific boards available that are narrower for smaller feet and are more able to accommodate a lighter rider.
Other types of snowboard equipment include, of course, the snowboard itself. Additional gear is boots, bindings, winter wear such as jackets, gloves and hats, helmets etc.
Preparations Against Mother Nature
As with skiing, snowboard equipment must encompass not only the requirements of the sport, but also protect against the weather conditions that are necessary for snowboarding. Winter equipment such as warm clothing, earmuffs, hand/foot warmers, and boot dryer are must haves when it comes to snowboard gear. Sunscreen, sunglasses, maps, and a basic hydration system are required snowboard gear as they are for all physically laborious outdoor activities.
Winter Gear
Be sure you are prepared for the cold temperatures before you head out to the slopes. As with skiing, the cold is a given. A solid winter coat, gloves, earmuffs, and hat are must have snowboarding gear. You need to consider not only temperature, but also the sun. Carry chapstick, sunscreen, and sunglasses to avoid excess sun exposure and damage from the snow glare.
Safety First
Regardless of where you decide to snowboard, you need to consider other safety factors. A helmet and pads can help prevent serious bodily injury. A basic first aid kit is not a bad idea either. And what if you were to get lost? Even if you are familiar with the area in which you are snowboarding, it is not unwise to have a travel guide or map among your snowboard gear. A signaling device can also be useful in case you are lost or trapped due to an avalanche.
Before You Hit the Slopes
Individual snowboarders can best determine their own needs, and what should be among their snowboard gear. A seasoned snowboarder will have a better knowledge of brands and types of boards as well as the overall dangers. The best way to find out what is right for you is to shop around and ask questions. And be prepared! Nature is your playing field with this sport so you must always prepare for the unexpected.
