What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I grabbed this for a young rider in my family who was still a little nervous on snow, and the soft flex made turning feel way less scary right away. By the end of the day she was laughing her way down the hill instead of white-knuckling every turn."Learning to ride is more fun with friends nearby and nothing to prove, and the Spirit Snowboard keeps that feeling front and center. The soft flex and Flat-Out Rocker make turns forgiving and catch-free, so young riders spend the day cruising and laughing instead of fighting the board underneath them.
