The Lamar Blazer Snowboard for boys is built for all-mountain performance. It has a flex and geometry that is specifically designed for kids. For girls, the LTD all-mountain Betty Jr. snowboard is a fitting choice. It is crafted with a wood core and a kid-specific flex and sizing. It also has assorted colorful designs and patterns.
Freestyle
Freestyle or park boards are designed for half-pipe, boxes, jumps, spins, rails and tricks. Children who are more experienced at snowboarding and want to develop more skills often have this type of board. According to REI specialists, freestyle boards are often shorter, lighter and more flexible than other boards. Burton Custom Smalls-Boys Freestyle and Ride Blush Girls Freestyle Snowboard are both designed for younger and more experienced snowboarders. Both freestyle snowboards are built tough for riding at the park and pipe, as well as for learning new tricks.

Younger snowboarders who frequent backcountry terrains are well-suited for these boards.
