As opposed to what other material? Snowboards are designed to be strong, lightweight and durable. The core of the board is made from laminated fiberglass around wood. Usually beach or poplar. The properties of the core include damping, rebound, strength and reduced weight. The base of the board is made of porous polyethylene plastic which is saturated from wax to give a smooth surface that will glide over the surface of the snow. The edges of the board are made of a single strip of metal, useful for carving turns when using the board.

The snowboard is not made up of just one material, it makes use of the properties of many different materials, to get the best ride for the user.
