Directional Twin Wide Snowboards

Understand boot flex

• Soft flex: Comfortable; ideal for beginners or recreational riders
• Medium flex: Balances all-mountain performance and comfort
• Stiff flex: Maximum support for edge power and control at high speeds

Match riding style to flex

• All-mountain: Soft to medium for most riders; stiffer boots for racers
• Freeride: Stiffer for edge power and control at high speeds
• Freestyle: Softer for quick response and maneuverability in park terrain

Boot lacing system

• Dial lace: Uses one or two dials attached to cable for precise fit, higher cost
• Hybrid lace: Combines a dial system and traditional laces
• Traditional lace: Tried-and-true and easy to replace but can loosen during rides
• Quick pull: A single-pull lacing system that's fast and allows zonal tightening

Find a good fit

• Boots should feel snug and secure without cramping your feet
• It's OK for toes to barely graze the boot's toecap
• A snug heel fit is also key
