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.

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.
