![]() Side cut works inherently with stiffness to produce stability and edge hold while the board flexes under pressure. Snowboards will have what’s known as a ‘side cut’, which refers to the concave curve between the contact points. The ‘waist’ is the narrowest part in between the bindings. The contact points are the widest points of the board - usually outside the bindings, just before the board curves up for the nose and tail (in true/directional twin boards, but that’s an explanation for a different guide). They will all have a nose and tail, and they’ll all have contact points and a waist. Snowboards have lots of different shapes depending on the type, but there are some constants across all boards. A few other things to consider and keep in the back of your mind as you progress (as you expect your equipment to become more advanced as you refine your skills).
