With top of the line winter sports gear varying in features and technology it looks like 2007-2008 snowboards will be optimal for tearing mountains in half. From the dual progressive side cut, 2008 Venue Pulse Pro Snowboard to the Lamar Intrigue All Mountain Snowboard with edge link sidewall construction, these boards are sure to keep you shredding for weeks. Of course lets not forget the other name brand snowboarding manufacturers which, pertain but are not limited to Sapient, LTD, and Head.



The size of Mount Everest fails in comparison to the massive amounts of stardom Venue Snowboards have received in the past. Including the newly released 2007/08 Venue Onyx Pro Snowboard, their concept of high end snowboards with superior graphics and style, are without a doubt incomparable to other manufacturers.

Snowboarding helmets must of not done the job in providing Head with much recognition. But with the new Concept D 156cm Snowboard introduced, that definitely changed. Filled with full wood core, beveled edges, tip and tail protectors and a full metal edge, this board is equal to snowboarding gold.

Sophisticated graphic designs and highly-developed snowboarding technology is what Flow is all about. Now with Flows Optix Ez-Care base equipped in their Merc, Strike, and Venus All-Mountain Snowboards, whizzing down the terrain will be a walk in the park.

The people working at Lamar must be sitting on thrones, because of the assumed cash flow coming in after the release of their Realm Freeride Pro Snowboard. This board includes both Laser-Lock Diecut Base and Energy Transmission Frame Technology. But in case you prefer all mountain riding, Lamar also entered in The Tripper and Intrigue All Mountain Snowboard, adding to your convenience.

No winter sports collection is complete without at least ten dozen Sapient snowboards. Being a contender in graphic designs, Sapient boards are splattered with perhaps the most unique and skillful illustrations on each of their boards. Even though the purchase of these boards require a fraction of the weekly paycheck, it's well worth it when considering all the aspects of perfection this board has to offer. The decision between the Solstice Freeride Snowboard, Evolution Freestyle Snowboard, and Dionne Delesalle Pro Snowboard might require some deep thinking, the idea that you have a board to choose from for every occasion is reassuring.

Give any rider an LTD snowboard and he'll be on the mountain for weeks. Now loaded with 3-D Topsheet Geometry much of the boards increase the torsional stability, giving the board more of an active snap and feel while dissipating vibrations. And if your still not convinced these boards will be the highlight of your year, just take a look at their awesome graphics.

It can be said that the number of snowboards in the world is equal to the number of combinations available when making a board, all having different prices, reviews and characteristics. And being able to "tear apart" a mountain can feel all the more gratifying when its on a top of the line snowboard. Manufacturers such as Flow, Venue, and Lamar is evidence that attention to detail while going the extra mile is all worth it in the end.
