Stepchild Snowboard : Features and Benefits

StepChild has been in the snowboarding business for many years now. At first, it is still a small and independent brand but they have always put snowboarding foremost in their innovations. The company puts the riding experience first than the fashion and style which other companies put first in their creation of snowboards. When you purchase a board from StepChild, the money you put in goes back into snowboarding. Recently, the money they earned are used to fund team rider programs, online video projects, the development of new products, and board testing of materials. This is a small hardcore snowboard company with offices in Laguna Beach, California and Vancouver, Canada. As much as possible, they get employees for their company from snowboarders that ride. They also hire employees though, who do not ride that well.

The StepChild Snowboard allows you to spend your day enjoying while winding your way down the mountains. Its tough-sintered base is so durable and provides plenty of speed for the snowboarder who needs to charge a huge gap between other snowboarders. Most of their boards are twin-shaped and made from poplar core. The poplar core material has struc turn finish. It is topped with quadaxial fiberglass giving the board just the right amount of flex. This allows you to make a nose press over a curved rail and massive hit in the same run in the park.

The Sean Johnson’s StepChild has carved a name in itself into the snowboarding sport. It is about 2 fingers up to the globalization and integration of the major snowboard companies. The company has the products to back up their opinions like their exciting and innovative range of boards that suits every rider. When the products are matched up with one of the strongest teams of riders like JP Walker and Simon Chamberlain, they have certainly one of the coolest names in the snowboarding industry. Here are two of the well-known and cool snowboards from StepChild.

1. The Headless Horseman is a great all-mountain freestyle deck and one of the best-looking snowboards sold in the market. It is a little stiffer and heavier than some of the other products but is excellent in jumps attributed to its bamboo core. It holds beautifully in the pipe, floats well in the powder snow, and glides effortlessly on boxes and rails.

2. The Chamberlain twin-shaped board satisfies your style variations and cravings in mixed terrains. It has a core of carbon stringers adding to the pop that you want for freestyle. It maintains stable flex when you want to free ride aggressively.
