Snowboard info?!?

Question

I'm buying a snowboard and need to Know what Kind of core is better... a wood core or fiberglass? please help!!

Answer 1

Buy a snowboard with a fiberglass core. Fiberglass has been perfected & it's much more flexible & will bend easy when you downhill & it will make you a better boarder. Also, wood can break easier since it's not as flexible & wood can rot easily when it gets wet. Fiberglass boards are more durable. Although I snow ski,, I buy only fiberglass skis. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

I like fiberglass because it won't swell  if the topsheet or base gets damaged.  It doesn't rot

Answer 3

"The Snowboard's "core", which lies beneath the fiberglass, is what the rest of the board is wrapped around with. The core makes up most of the thickness of the Snowboard. This is usually made of wood foam, honeycomb panels, or a combination of wood and other composite materials, with sets of metal inserts needed to mount bindings.

Cores made from honeycomb are lightweight and are surprisingly strong. With a wood core, you can be assured of a smooth response and lively flex from the board. Foam cores, in contrast, can sometimes loose their flex. "

I'd go with wood.
