Women's Rental Snowboard SERENITY 500

Difference with the basic model

_ Black 100% PE extruded base for easy repairs

_ top sheet (top coating of the board) structured for greater durability

Programme/terrain

The Serenity 500 is the All Mountain board par excellence: 50% piste and 50% off-piste. You can go anywhere, on all types of snow, on groomed slopes, off-piste and, of course, on powder. Do not go to the snow parks: this board is not designed for modules or riding switch.

Directional snowboard

The shape of the board is directional, that is to say that the board has a front and a rear. It is not symmetrical; the rear of the board is slightly narrower than the front and the bindings, as well as the contact points of the snowboard, are set back slightly.

A directional shape gives better edge grip when turning, better control of the trajectory and more acceleration on exiting turns.

Standard camber + rocker

All the advantages of both the standard camber (thanks to the board's elasticity, a standard camber serves as a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, edge-to-edge dynamism and recoil when coming out of turns) and the rocker (under constraint, the board's points of contact with the snow come closer together, making the board more manageable). The rocker elongates and raises the nose so that it can glide better over powder.

Medium and versatile flex

Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear.

The flex of the Serenity 500 is about 3/5, which is medium and versatile. It is reliable in carved turns while also being forgiving of edge mistakes.

Medium and versatile torsion

The torsion, i.e. the torsional stiffness of the board between the feet, is about 3/5 on the Serenity 500, which is fairly stiff for good hold in the curves, recovery coming out of a turn and responsive edge transition. This also makes the board suitable for intermediate to advanced levels, while remaining very accessible physically.

15 mm setback

The setback is when the board's compression points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the centre of the board, but set back towards the rear. The bindings are also set back towards the rear by the same distance.

15 mm setback = significant setback for directional boards. It gives better stability in turns and lift in powder snow because the weight is at the rear of the board which naturally makes the front rise.

Which size Serenity 500 snowboard should I choose?

Choose -15 to -20 cm on the All Mountain (for example, a person who is 1.74 m tall should choose a board between 1.59 m and 1.54 m in length).

Because the Serenity has a rocker, choose one a little larger.

If you choose a shorter board, it will be easier to control. This is also advised for people who are light for their height. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed.

147 cm: 1.6 m to 1.67 m

152 cm: 1.65 m to 1.72 m

157 cm: 1.7 m to 1.77 m
