Confidence-boosting fun with the First Basic Kid’s Snowboard—playful, forgiving, and built to progress
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I put the First Basic under a young rider who was still linking turns, and the difference was immediate. The flat profile gave them stability without catching edges, while the true twin shape let them experiment with riding switch. It’s light, predictable, and forgiving—everything you want in a first board that helps kids build confidence instead of fighting their gear."
Who It’s For
Beginner to Progressing Young Riders:
This board is designed for kids stepping onto their first real snowboard or moving up from rentals. Its forgiving flex and stable design make it ideal for young riders learning to carve, link turns, and start experimenting in the terrain park. Parents will appreciate how it supports skill development without being intimidating.
What It’s For
Resort Riding and Freestyle Progression:
With a flat, catch-free profile and symmetrical twin design, the First Basic is built for groomers, mellow slopes, and first laps in the park. It handles variable conditions at the resort while encouraging kids to ride both regular and switch, build balance, and have fun progressing their freestyle basics.
Why We Like It
Forgiveness, Balance, and Easy Progression:
We like the First Basic because it delivers exactly what young riders need—a lightweight, poplar wood core for a smooth feel, a flat profile that keeps things stable, and a symmetrical twin shape that makes switch riding natural. The Forever Flex process means the board keeps its feel season after season, so kids can keep progressing with confidence.
