Top 5 Snowboards


Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best snowboards on the market.

When you’re heading to the slopes, it’s great to know that you’ve got a reliable board under your feet. But with snowboarding being such a vastly diverse sport in terms of board styles and budgets, where do you even start when looking for a new stick? Well, not to worry, we’re here to help. We’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.

The Front Runner

Ride Warpig


The Warpig really does take the fight to the slopes, because this board is renowned for being able to tackle pretty much any terrain, from floaty, powdery snow to icy groomed tracks. This versatility is mainly down to the board’s unique shape, which offers a wide profile and tight sidecut, helping it tackle a multitude of different terrains and obstacles. Outdoorgearlab summed this board up by saying it has “one shape that can do it all” and that “this board is for someone who loves riding everything”.

The Comparable

Burton Deep Thinker


In the snowboarding world, if someone argues that the Ride Warpig can’t do something, they’ll probably follow it up with the fact that the Burton Deep Thinker can. In other words, these two boards are quite similar in the fact that they’re designed to be able to tackle anything and everything. Again, this is thanks to the board’s shape, with its directional camber profile giving it plenty of pop and the ability to tackle choppy conditions with ease. And if you’re seeking gloating rights, this board is tuned to the specification of snowboarder Danny Davis, and it looks awesome too!

The Value Option

Jones Frontier


The Warpig and Deep Thinker are two of the most awesome boards money can buy, but if you’re looking for a board that offers serious value for money, then the Jones Frontier should be on your shortlist. This board is designed to deliver excellent performance on edge and at speed, and yet it still manages to offer good flotation. And we can’t not mention its killer graphics. If you learn to ride the Frontier in the right way, this board can do anything!

The Kid’s Choice

Flexible Flyer Avenger Beginner Snowboard


If you’ve got kids who are following in your halfpipe-hunting footsteps, then this beginner snowboard is a great way to get them started. Designed for backyard or casual hill boarding, this flexible plastic snowboard is free from metal edges and can accommodate a wide range of snow boots in all different sizes, thanks to its adjustable ratchet system. This board is perfect for teaching kids the basics of boarding - like balance, stopping and turning.

Before we reveal our final pick, here are a few other great products you might want to consider:

Camp Seven Drifter



System Timeless


K2 Broadcast


The Budget Pick

Stauber Summit


If you’re just looking to get on the slopes as soon as possible, but don’t want to bankrupt yourself in the process, then this Stauber Summit board is a great way to do it. This board comes highly-praised by Amazon consumers, many of which claim that even as experienced boarders, they find it to be a great all-rounder. We also love the fact that you can buy this board as a package, which means it comes with bindings thrown in - great if you’re planning on buying this board as a gift for someone who is just getting started!

So which snowboard should you choose? Well, there are a ton of boards out there suited to super-specific styles, but if you’re a casual rider who wants a solid board that will stand the test of time, we’d recommend sticking to a versatile board like the Warpig or Deep Thinker. Those things are like Swiss Army Knives when it comes to tackling the slopes!
