The Drake Onyx Snowboard is an excellent choice for the beginning shredder. The Core of the Onyx is made from Biax, which is a composite material that has a light, soft flex that will allow riders to put minimal pressure on the snow to flex the board for more control as they learn to turn and carve. The Flat Camber makes the Onyx very easy to initiate and exit a turn without any hooking feeling, making it the perfect board for beginners to learn on.
