Get your aspiring shredder started off right by giving him the Ride Kids' Lowride Snowboard. This entry-level board's mellow flex and deep sidecut make learning to turn easier. The sidecut and flex combined with a directional shape shorten the snowboarding learning curve, which means your little rug rat will be up turning and having fun before you know it. The Lowride also features durable ABS sidewalls and an easy-to-repair extruded base, so when he outgrows it, you can hand this board down to his little brother.
Got this for my 5 year old son and we got our first day out last weekend. Soft flex and centered stance helped him feel comfortable and edge effectively, but the board is cheaply made which is a disappointment for a reputable company like Ride. Topsheet began 'sliver shedding' right away (long thin strips coming off near the sidewall), and the nose delammed about 4" across and 2" deep. Granted he is a beginner and took a few spills, but certainly nothing to warrant this level of quality issue.
We'll take 'er up some more, but this is likely going to be returned before the warranty is out.
DO NOT BUY IT! first of all it took a month to ship -.-
second i tried it on a small hill and the board was ruined
the piece of *** broke after my second try i want my money back!
