Which size Endzone 500 should I choose?

For Freestyle use, you can go for a relatively short board: choose a 20 or 25 cm drop (for example, a girl who is 1.7 m tall should choose a board between 150 and 145 cm in length). A smaller board makes rotations and tricks easier. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed and when landing jumps. 146 cm => 1.60 m to 1.71 m 151 cm => 1.69 m to 1.76 m 156 cm WIDE => from 1.74 m to 1.81 m

A word from the product manager

The Endzone 500 is the most playful board in the range. We wanted it to be easy to handle as well as being freestyle: technical, playful, easy to handle and fun. We love this board but the most important thing is that you like it! Please remember to let us know what you think in the customer feedback section.

Programme/terrain

The Endzone 500 doesn't carve as well as the Allroad 500 on the slopes but is great fun in snow parks, whether for rail lines, jump lines or on the flat. It's easy to handle in tight turns on the piste and is the perfect excuse for playful snowboarding on the edge of the slopes. With its flat camber with rocker and soft torsion between the feet, it suits an experienced rider looking for a playful board as well as for a genuine beginner interested in freestyle.

Twintip snowboard

The shape of the snowboard is TwinTip. The board's sidecuts are completely symmetrical between front and rear, providing perfect symmetry and centring of the board's features for riding in both directions in the same way. The TwinTip shape also provides total balance when turning on the ground or in the air.

Flat camber + rocker

A flat camber offers the best compromise between a standard camber which provides traction and dynamic motion, and a reverse camber which provides manoeuvrability when turning but little traction. It is perfect for park freestylers and beginners as: - the flat camber provides stability on modules and on the slopes - the rocker makes it more forgiving in parks and on the slopes as the 4 corners of the board don't touch the snow when the board is flat.

Slight flex (5/10)

Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear. The flex of the Endzone 500 board is approximately 5/10, making it tolerant and playful. This is a very even type of flex from the tip (nose) to the tail, which is makes the board playful in snow parks and on the piste. However, at high speed or on very frozen snow, this board cannot hold a carved turn.

Soft and forgiving torsion

The Endzone 500 has a torsional flex, which is the stiffness of the board between the feet, of about 4/10, which makes the board easy to handle, pivot and more forgiving of edge errors. Soft torsion provides freedom for the feet. It is important at the beginner level: forgiving of edge errors. Soft torsion is also suitable for freestyle, jib or flat use. Perfect for shredding!

0 mm setback

The setback is when the board's compression points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the centre of the board, but set back towards the rear. The bindings are also set back towards the rear by the same distance. no setback = these are fully centred Twin Tip boards, not only for riding in both directions, but also for better balance during rotations in the air and on the slopes.

Recommended bindings

With the SNB 500 binding, the board + binding combination will be very homogeneous in terms of level and the design is coherent.

When should you wax your snowboard?

Decathlon snowboards are supplied already waxed. They then require regular maintenance like all snowboards: ideally waxing every 5 outings and at least once a year: - either at the beginning of the season to start with a very good glide - or at the end of the season so that the wax protects the base all summer long

Glide quality: sintered sole

The bases are made from polyethylene using 2 different technical processes: - extruded base, with a certain density of polyethylene - a sintered base, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE) A sintered base is the Rolls-Royce of bases. The glide is really fantastic.

What is the Wide version snowboard?

A "Wide" board is a board that is wider than normal, to prevent "large" feet from touching the snow when turning and making you fall, or to increase buoyancy on powder. The width of the board is measured at its centre. At Decathlon, we have defined: - up to 245 mm: narrow board / foot size 4 to 7 - from 246 mm to 255 mm: normal/shoe size 5 to 8 - 256 mm to 265 mm: Mid Wide / foot size 7 to 10 - from 266 mm: Wide/shoe size 8.5 to 13

Can the shop mount the bindings on my board for me?

Yes. On the product page, you'll find a set-up support video, however you can also ask your store to fit your bindings to suit your own preferences. Remember to take your snowboard boots with you for 2 adjustments: 1. The front/back of the binding, so that the toes or heels of the boots don't stick out on one side more than the other 2. The straps on your bindings, which should be properly adjusted to your boots.
