These snowboards have a directional shape, meaning that the nose of the board is different than the tail. Additionally the boards are offset to make the riding stance to be closer to the back of the board. But they can also be ridden in the fakie stance which means your right foot is forward on the board instead of your left. The next most common board type is freestyle also known as a park
board.
Park boards are usually wider and much more stable. The reason for this is because it is necessary for it to be wider because its easier to maintain balance while on a rail or a box. This type of board is also shorter and lighter to make it easier to do tricks catch air and be more maneuverable on the rails. These qualities make the board easier to control and it is very responsive which is why it is the bet choice for beginners. On the bad side these boards do not have much edge grip which means they are not good for hard carving turns or going fast. These boards have a center stance position to keep the rider centered to maintain balance when doing tricks. On the bad side these boards do not have much edge grip which means they are not good for hard carving turns or going fast. If fast is what you want you would want to have a race board.
Race boards are the most narrow of all snowboards. They are the best for quick precise carving and good stability during high speeds. Because race boards are for delivering high performance they are not recommended for a beginner rider.
Conclusion: In conclusion if you are trying to maneuver and your a beginner rider a soft flexing free style board is the board for you. It is harder to ride and carve on a stiff all mountain board. The type of board that you decide to ride should compliment your riding style and the fact that free style and free ride boards are best for beginners.
