How to splitboard for beginners (it's easy)

The splitboard is taking the mountain community by storm! This relatively new form of shredding has been on my todo list for years. I'm so stoked that I'm already basically the best at it. So excited for the places this amazing tool will take me. This is a story about trying something new. It's okay to be a beginner. Actually, if you're able to forget about your ego - being a beginner is one of the most fun parts.

Lots more splitboarding videos coming as the snow starts to fly. Finally got through some avi courses and am pumped to shoot in the actual wilderness SOON.

I had my split cherry popped in march, while on spring break in Oregon. Someone I met on the lift, rode with and then shared some beers with offered to take me out the next day. He was 6'6" and I'm 5'10" so I was riding his 169cm solution, plus my size 10 boots were swimming in his bindings, that fit his size 14(?) feet - but it didnt matter. We skinned the bootpack from the top of the highest lift at Mt. Hood, then rode the 3000ft down the parking lot. It was one of the most transformative days of my life and I've been on marketplace at least once a day since then. I'm a college student on the east coast, so if and when I pony up for a set up I'll be ripping resort laps for the near future. Thanks for the realistic yet beautiful portrayal of stoke! Yeww!

This was me with surfing, I have loved watching people shred waves my whole life but don’t live near a beach and don’t have a board so I saved up and finally bought my first board a few days ago!

This series is lit. Been snowboarding since 1995. I’m 51 and doing splitboarding for the first time in 23/24. I’ve got 2 ex ski patrollers and an OG touring splitboarder as 1st season guides. Always something to learn. Your production is down to earth and realistic for a beginning splitboarder. Well done.

My favorite part is definitely the donut that gets eaten as you talk about avalanches

Came for splitboard 101 for dummies, stayed for the awesome Poncho. Good stuff.

[avolox]

Hey man great video. I’m contemplating my first set myself and your video definitely made it feel less intimidating. I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views.

Just dropped $1500 on my first split boat setup. Stoked man

[Briguydude]

Who snowboards in ski boots? The best part of snowboarding is the comfy boots

[TrongNghia]

What a inspirational video, even I don't have a splitboard.
