Types of Snowboarding

Freeride
One of the types of snowboarding is freeride. It doesn't require much skill and it is most suitable for beginners. The tricks are usualy borrowed from freestyle. Freeride is appropriate for all kinds of surfaces like snow and ice. It is not only for beginners, though. Professionals can actually make it pretty extreme.

Freestyle
This style uses many tricks - mainly aerial, for example - spins, grabs and flips. It is a very extreme and exciting type of surfing, which combines many tricks.

Freecarve
This type of snowboarding is used in races. It focuses on speed and if you are a fan of speed and adrenaline, this is the best style for you. It is really hard to master mostly because of the high speed but ones you've done it is amazing and the adrenaline just can't be described.

Splitboarding
Splitboarding is a relatively new snowboarding type but it has already become very popular. This is a board that splits in half so that you can use it both for snowboarding and skiing. It offers the best of both worlds and it is actually pretty amazing how it combines snowboarding and skiing. I strongly recommend it for people that enjoy both sports.
