Salomon Kickback Snowboard

Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners. With a soft flex rating of 3 out of 10 and a forgiving True Twin shape, it is designed to be easy to maneuver while you are still learning the fundamentals of turning and edge control.

The Rock Out Camber combines flat sections between the feet with rocker at the tip and tail. This profile provides a stable, catch-free feel that makes it easier to initiate turns and progress in the park without sacrificing the pop you need for jumps.

While the Kickback excels in the park and pipe due to its playful flex and True Twin shape, it is versatile enough for all-mountain riding. It performs well on groomed runs, though its soft flex means it may feel less stable at very high speeds or in deep, heavy powder compared to stiffer, directional boards.

The Extruded EG base is designed for durability and low maintenance. It holds wax well and is easy to repair if you pick up minor scratches from rails or boxes, making it a practical choice for riders who don't want to spend a lot of time tuning their board.

Yes, the board is factory-tuned, meaning the edges are sharpened and the base is waxed and ready for the snow immediately. You can mount your bindings and head straight to the lift.

Because this is a soft-flexing, freestyle-oriented board, you should pair it with bindings that have a medium-to-soft flex. This will complement the board's playful nature and ensure you have a consistent, responsive feel across the entire setup.
