What should i look for in park snowboards?

I was wondering what i should look for in a good park snowboard?
I’m a beginner but i pick up really quickly and usually end up wanting a better board after 2 months

    well some things to think about when you are picking a park board are its flexibility. generally a stiffer board is designed more for big park jumps, and a softer board is designed more for jibbing boxes and rails. you also want to look at the stance. is the board a true twin? near twin? or directional. generally for a park board you would like the board to be a true twin or a near twin. now a-days park board shapes come in two different styles depending on the company you want to go with. there is the original style of board where the board is cambered toward the snow, and there is the off cambered style, where the board is cambered upward, away from the snow. the off cambered boards are generally easier to press on boxes and stuff, but are alot of fun to ride. you need to also consider the size of the board. generally people go with a smaller board when they want to get a park board. they are easier to handle, spin, etc. but you dont want to go too small. i am 6 ft tall and i ride a 151 or a 153 depending on which board i want to ride. well hopefully this helps.

    When looking for a good park snowboard you want to look for a board with good flexibility. Nitro, Morrow, Forum, Burton, and Neversummer are the boards i think have the best flexibility. I have rode all those boards and i love them. Hope this helps. Go tear it up
    Good luck
