Beyond the quantifiable scoring, we also ask testers to comments on each facet of the board’s performance. The scorecards for the park and all-mountain categories of the test each have unique and specific criteria designed to pinpoint the strengths and weakness of a snowboard in the setting respective to its category. Shortly after ripping laps on each model, our testers score the board based on a comprehensive set of characteristics that include edgehold, pop, swingweight, turn initiation, stability, and flex. In the end, we came back with a collection of boards that are worthy of TransWorlds esteemed Good Wood stamp of approval. This season, our diverse crew of testers returned to the steeps of Snowbird, Utah for the all-mountain category and the progressive features of Carinthia at Mount Snow, Vermont for the park division. With that in mind, Good Woods intent has always been to best serve you in your quest to purchase the deck most deserving of your money.

#SIGNAL SNOWBOARDS SERIES#
Signal advertises this deck as 10% stiffer than their standard Park Series, and the truth is that our testers found it to be one of the stiffest and most aggressive submissions in the test, with one of them commenting that the Super Park Series was stiffer out of the gate than expected, adding that he enjoyed the commitment required to lock into a nice press. From its plain black topsheet to its classic, positive camber profile, Signals Super Park Series proves to be a simple, straightforward deck for the rider who doesnt need a bunch of fancy bells and whistles.
