In general, for all-terrain use, choose a 6" to 8" drop (e.g. a girl who is 5'5" (65") tall should choose a board between 57" and 59" in length). A smaller-sized board will be more maneuverable. This is also advisable for people who are light in relation to their height. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed. 55.9" (142 cm) (65 to 130 lbs) => from 5'2" to 5'5" 57.5" (146 cm) (90 - 155 lbs) => from 5'3" to 5'7"

An easy and accessible snowboard that really helps you progress. To offer you a snowboard with the best value for money, we have reviewed the transportation of our snowboards. That's why this snowboard comes without bindings. And to avoid compromising on either riding pleasure or board longevity, we've kept its wooden core.

The Serenity 100 is perfect on-piste in all snow conditions. Supple flex and torsion, standard but not very pronounced camber, gentle directional shape: it's designed to make learning to snowboard easier. Features provide buoyancy in powdery snow and allow it to be a bit playful for beginner freestylers. Its wooden core lets you push it on hard snow within reason.

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 offers better edge grip when turning, better control of the trajectory and more acceleration on exiting turns.

A standard camber is curved upward between the 2 points of contact between board and snow. Thanks to the elasticity of the board, a standard camber acts like a spring to give you grip on all types of snow, pop when switching edges and acceleration on exiting turns.

The flex is the stiffness of the board along its length. The flex of the Serenity 100 Evo about 2/5, which is supple and forgiving. This is a very even type of flex from the front shovel (nose) to the rear shovel (tail), which behaves very reliably and predictably in turns. However, at high speed or on a very frozen snow, this board cannot hold a carved turn. It side-slips and automatically slows down.

The torsional stiffness, i.e. stiffness of the board on twisting, is about 2/5. This makes the board easy to handle, turn and forgiving of edge mistakes. A soft torsional stiffness gives freedom between the feet. By exaggerating, it can be said that the front foot can be tilted heel-to-toe, and the rear toe-to-heel. It is forgiving of edge mistakes , which is important for a beginner. The soft torsional stiffness is also suitable for freestyle-jib use.

The setback is when the contact points of the board on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the center of the board but shifted toward the rear. The bindings are also set back toward the rear by the same distance. 10 mm setback: standard setback of directional boards. It provides better stability in turns and floatation in powder snow because the weight is at the rear of the board , which naturally makes the front come up.

With the purple Serenity 100 binding, the board + binding set will be equal in terms of consistency of level and of design.

Wed'ze boards are supplied already waxed. They then require regular maintenance like all snowboards and skis: ideally requires waxing every 5 outings and at least once a year: - at the beginning of the season to start with a very good glide - at the end of the season so that the wax protects the sole all summer long

The bases are made from polyethylene however according to 2 different techniques: - extruded base with a certain density of polyethylene - sintered base with higher density polyethylene (less holes, more PE) An extruded base provides normal glide performance and is hardwearing over time.

A "Wide" board is a board that is wider than average so that "big" feet do not dig in the snow when turning at a steep angle, causing you to fall. It also increases floatation in powder snow. From size 10½, it is advisable to take a "Wide" board. We measure the "Wide" by the width of the board at the center. At Decathlon, we defined: - up to 255 mm: normal board - 255 mm to 265 mm: Mid Wide - from 265 mm: Wide

Dry edges at the end of the day to prevent rust. Ideally, wax every 5 outings. Storing for the summer: keep away from sunlight, you can leave your bindings on the board.
