What, you've never heard of Snowjam (Zuma/Spice/Freesport/Maxx) before? What planet are you from?
Ok, they aren't that popular yet, but Snowjam is on its way to becoming a truly respected force in the snowboard world.

We have taken a close look at the quality and performance of all the Snowjam gear, and have been very surprised. For such inexpensive gear, one would expect construction flaws and breakage issues left and right. However, the Snowjam boards, boots, and bindings have been holding up just as good as the most expensive brands out there. In fact, The Snowjam bindings we sell haven't had any breakage issues whereas some name brand bindings (that we no longer sell) have close to a 50% failure rate. In other words, the Snowjam bindings are more durable and reliable than some mainstream brands.
As for the boards, we cut up a very popular board to figure out why everyone needed this brand. As we suspected, there wasn't anything different in the construction process or materials that would make this brand 5 times more expensive than Snowjam boards.
There is a similar pattern with the boots. Many of the Snowjam boots have the same lacing system that top end boots now feature, the Boa Lacing System, but at a fraction of the price.

That being said, we are still trying to figure out why people are spending $800 or more for a snowboard setup when a quality Snowjam setup starts around $175, including board, boots, and bindings. Save the extra dough and buy your whole family a new setup, or splurge for the Season Pass at your local resort that you have been dreaming about.

Will this board work for 6'5", 240 lb, size 12 intermediate rider (primarily east cost slopes)? Also will this board accommodate Flow Flite bindings?

The 164 will work great for your stats, and accommodate your boot size as well. The Braxis has a standard 4 hole pattern so it will accommodate the "Flow" bindings if they have a 4 hold disc.

What is the width of this board? Will it fit men's size 14?
-George March 04, 2010 2:25AM

The waist of the board is 10.5" or 267mm. So, it's wide...and should accommodate your size 14 boot.

what are the measurements on the braxus 160 and 164? What is the tip and tail width, and the waist width? Is the board twin tip? If you center the stance, would it make a good all mountain board and an occasional park board? Is this really an everyday board for all conditions and terrain?
- December 06, 2009 1:33PM

The braxis 160 is 160cm long, and the 164 is 164cm long. The sidecut dimensions of the 164cm (the 160cm will be just a couple millimeters narrower): 315mm tip- 270mm waist- 315mm tail. This board is a true twin tip. Center stance is good for park, not good for all mountain. You can set the stance back a little to get the better all mountain performance. And yes, it will handle any terrain style, even park.

Would this make a good powder board?
-F.C. November 03, 2009 11:22PM

Yes, because it is a wider board it will excel in powder.
