Best Newcomer Snowboard Products For 2023-2024

If you’re the kind of rider who likes to stay on the frontline of innovation, here’s list of our favourite new snowboard products for this season.

This one’s for new kids on the block. Recent years have seen brands become increasingly experimental in their output. If you’re the kind of rider who likes to stay on the frontline of innovation, here’s your category.

“Each season sees a host of exciting new products to get you stoked for riding”

With huge leaps in new technology, materials and manufacturing processes for snowboard gear, each season sees a host of exciting new products to get you stoked for riding. This year, more than ever before, we’ve seen brands push the limits and shift the paradigms of what we thought was possible.

Our Test Team spent last winter riding every snowboard they could get their hands on, from powder hogs to park noodles, so whether you’re looking for something weird and wonderful, or a reimagined classic, here’s our top picks for the best new snow products for 2023/24.

Amplid Soul Mate Snowboard 2023-2024

PRICE: €490

Amplid take their tech seriously. Peter Bauer’s German snowboard company has long prioritised R&D over marketing spend, using cutting-edge materials and innovative design features to create a line whose performance speaks for itself. But technology comes with a high sticker price.

Who Is The Amplid Soul Mate For?

Although it’s a pow-friendly silhouette, the Soul Mate shares a lot of its DNA with the all mountain Singular series. In truth it’s a modern quiver of one aimed at riders who appreciate details like core profile and build quality more than some flashy artwork. They want a board that does it all, that won’t cost the earth and which will never look dated. In short, the purists.

Bataleon Moodboard Snowboard 2023-2024

PRICE: $460

Bataleon has one of the greatest taglines of all time: Smile, it’s snowboarding. Nowhere is that vibe more on display than with the new Moodboard. It’s a women’s specific twin made for good times in the park and right around resort. Bataleon’s signature 3D shaping and colour pop artwork bring even more fun to the mix – and if all that doesn’t put a grin on your face then the competitive price surely will.

Who Is The Bataleon Moodboard For?

Women and smaller riders that want to bring relaxed style to the park, enjoy catch-free boardslides and get creative off side hits, knuckles and natural transitions. The mountain is your playground. Entry level riders will also find a lot to love in the Moodboard thanks to its easygoing flex and versatile twin outline (more on that below).

Burton Gril Master Snowboard 2023-2024

PRICE: £630

In the last few years before his untimely passing in 2021, Marco ‘Grilo’ Grilc gained an army of fans for his social posts which showcased the joy of shredding with the fam. Earlier in his career he’d been at the forefront of freestyle as a Burton team rider and one of the legendary Robot Food crew. Now, in this new chapter, he was spending just as much time teaching his kids on the groomers as he was chasing pow lines.

Who Is The Burton Gril Master For?

While the backstory will undoubtedly appeal to the padre cadre, you don’t have to be a parent juggling family time with ‘me time’ to enjoy this board. With a huge range of sizes from 140 to 165, any intermediate-and-up rider looking for a versatile and lively model will appreciate its charms. The directional shape definitely tips the scale towards freeriding over freestyle, so if you’re more into blasting down trails and tree-runs than lapping the park, stick it on your shortlist.

Dragon RVX MAG OTG 2023-2024

PRICE: £210 / €260

‘Magnetic goggles’ was, for a long time, on every snowboarder’s fantasy wishlist – but for the best part of the last decade, it’s been a reality. Amazingly, eyewear behemoth Dragon relied instead on its quick-release ‘Swiftlock’ lens change system for a long time.

Who Are the Dragon RVX MAG OTG Goggles For?

Dragon has garnered a legion of fans thanks to its consistent quality across multiple sports, and we have no doubt they’ll be frothing at what is now the daddy of the Dragon range. Thanks to notches in the face foam, these are also ideal for those who sport a set of Gregory Pecks on the mountain (OTG = Over The Glasses).

Oakley Target Line 2023-2024

PRICE: £106

Lots of riders would choose Oakley goggles over pretty much anything else – which is fair enough, given their track record – but not everyone can splash out on the likes of the Flight Deck.

Who Are The Oakley Target Line For?

This is a great introduction to Oakley, and impresses even without the serious tech chops of some of its stablemates. With three sizes from which to choose, along with the usual Dulux-catalogue-eque range of colour options, there’s a pair of Target Line goggles for everyone.

Oakley Mod 1 Pro I.C.E 2023-2024

PRICE: £136

For this season, Oakley’s MOD 1 Pro has been updated to include a clever new safety feature that’s given it an esteemed spot in the Whitelines 100. We got out on the hill and put this update through its paces, and our test team reported cushy fit, sleek aesthetics and supreme goggle compatibility.
