Curated snowboards from tested brands
We stock snowboards from brands we believe in, including Burton, CAPiTA, Gnu, Lib Tech, Korua Shapes, K2, Ride, Spring Break Snowboards, Rome SDS, DC and United Shapes. Every brand in our collection brings something different, from playful freestyle boards and all-mountain shapes to directional freeride boards, volume-shifted powder shapes and splitboards for touring.
Because we test many of the boards ourselves, we can explain the differences in a way that goes beyond the product sheet. Flex, sidecut, camber profile, taper, width and shape all influence how a snowboard rides. The right board is not always the most expensive one. It is the one that matches your level, terrain and the way you want to ride.
Find the right snowboard for your riding style
Choosing a snowboard starts with understanding where and how you ride. A beginner who wants stability and easy turns needs something different from an experienced rider looking for edge hold at speed, float in powder or pop in the park.
All-mountain snowboards
All-mountain snowboards are the most versatile choice. They are made to handle groomers, side hits, natural terrain and mixed conditions. If you want one board that can do most things well, this is usually the best place to start.
Freeride snowboards
Freeride snowboards are built for speed, control and confidence in steeper terrain. They often have a directional shape, more stability and better float in softer snow. These boards are ideal for riders who spend less time in the park and more time carving, charging or looking for fresh snow.
Freestyle snowboards
Freestyle snowboards are designed for park, side hits, presses, spins and creative riding. They usually feel more playful, often with a twin or directional twin shape, a lighter construction and a flex pattern that makes tricks easier to control.
Powder and volume-shifted snowboards
Powder boards and volume-shifted shapes are made to create more float with less length. They are often wider, shorter and more directional, giving a surfier feel in deep snow and a powerful carving platform on piste.
Splitboards
Splitboards are built for touring and backcountry access. They split into two ski-like parts for the climb and connect back into snowboard mode for the descent. If you are looking at splitboarding, the board is only one part of the setup. You will also need the right splitboard bindings, skins and safety gear.
Complete your snowboard setup
A good snowboard setup is more than just the board. Boots, bindings and accessories make a huge difference in comfort, control and safety. A great board with the wrong boots or bindings will never ride the way it should.
Snowboard bindings
Snowboard bindings connect your boots to the board and define much of the response and support in your setup. Softer bindings suit freestyle and more playful riding. Stiffer bindings give more power, precision and control for freeride, carving and aggressive all-mountain riding.
Snowboard boots
Snowboard boots are one of the most important parts of your setup. They should fit snugly without painful pressure points and match the flex of your board and bindings. We can help you choose between different flex ratings, fit profiles and closure systems, from traditional laces to BOA and hybrid systems.
Snowboard protection and accessories
Clear vision, warmth and protection matter on every mountain day. Our selection includes snowboard goggles, snowboard helmets, gloves, socks, bags and tuning essentials. Small details can make a big difference when conditions change or the weather turns.
Snowboard advice in Amsterdam
Buying a snowboard online can be difficult because every board sounds good on paper. In our Amsterdam store, we help you compare shapes, flex patterns and board lengths in person. We look at your riding level, weight, boot size, preferred terrain and the boards you have ridden before. From there, we can narrow it down to a setup that makes sense.
All products shown online are available through our webshop, and many are also stocked in our Amsterdam store. If you want to feel a board, compare widths or talk through a complete setup, visit us for personal snowboard advice.
Snowboard service, rental and tuning
Behind The Pines also offers snowboard service in Amsterdam. A well-maintained board rides faster, turns cleaner and lasts longer. We can help with waxing, sharpening and repair work, whether you are preparing for a full winter trip or just want your board ready before the next indoor or mountain session.
If you are not ready to buy yet, or you want to test premium gear before committing, check our snowboard rental in Amsterdam. It is a practical way to ride quality boards without investing in a full setup straight away.
