Over the years, a lot of types of snowboards were developed. Topping the list are the shorter snowboards that were mainly created for kids and teens but later evolved as special boards for special purposes like exhibition of some snowboarding tricks. There are some other snowboards created to suit various snowboarding needs. Right now, snowboards can be classified according to style, depending on the kind of riding to be used.

Freestyle - is for snowboarders who love to make quick and tight turns. It combines a deep cut which makes everything possible. In length, it is shorter and when it comes to flex, it is moderate to soft. Has a twin-tip or semi-directional shape.

Freeride - generally the type that is perfect for snowboarders who love making long and fast turns in different kinds of snow. In length, it is longer and when it comes to flex, it is moderate to stiff. It has semi-directional shape which some snowboarders really like.

Racing or Alpine - a snowboard type which has become very popular to European snowboarders. Generally, it is long and has directional shape. It is also rigid and narrow. And it is for machine groomed slopes and typically ridden with either soft or hard boots.

Park or Jib (rails) - is for snowboarders who are after easy switch riding and wider stance. Basically, it is short and yet flexible. It is in twin shape and with a twin flex.

Split - is a unique type which is made up of stable powder board which can turn into two touring skis. Perfect for snowboarders who love deep backcountry conditions. Generally, it is not so torsionally rigid.
