A tunable snowboard having a base with perimetric edge tunability so that the controlling edge can be formed to meet the specific needs of the end user. The tunability is provided by a sheet of tunable material that covers some or all of the base. The amount of the base that is covered with tunable material in any one part of the snowboard is selected based on how much adjustment is to be provided in that part. A method for making a snowboard is also disclosed, including providing tunable material in the approximate shape of a snowboard. The tunable material is shaped to cover preferably from 10-percent to 100-percent of the base of the finished snowboard and a deck of structural material is bonded to the tunable material. In addition, the method can include cutting a hole in the tunable material adjacent an end of the snowboard and then extruding a portion of the deck material through the hole, and molding indentations, a step plate pattern and binding mounting plate patterns into the deck.
