Damping
Reduction of vibration through the board or equipment system.
GLOSSARY · Equipment, setup & maintenance
Damping is how well a board absorbs vibration and chatter. Well-damped boards feel smooth and stable at speed on rough snow; lively, less damped boards feel more playful and poppy.
Context and distinction
Damping is about vibration; flex is about how much the board bends. A board can be stiff and lively or soft and damp.
