Micro Mini Snowboard + Cadet Mini Binding - 2026 - Kids

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I started my niece on the Micro Mini with the Cadet Mini bindings, and it made all the difference. The board is so easy to turn and never feels catchy, and the bindings are light but super solid. Watching her link turns by the end of day one was awesome—it’s the kind of setup that builds confidence right away."

Who It’s For

First-Time Kids and Young Beginner Riders:

Built for children ages 2–8 who are new to snowboarding, this package offers a fun, frustration-free start to the sport. The Micro Mini’s ultra-soft flex and reverse camber make it easy for kids to initiate turns and stay upright, while the Union Cadet Mini bindings provide supportive comfort and the right amount of forgiveness for learning proper technique.

What It’s For

Learning, Progression, and Early Resort Riding:

This setup is all about helping kids find balance and control on snow. The Micro Mini’s Park Mini profile creates a smooth, catch-free feel for learning, while the Cadet Mini’s cushioned baseplate and soft flex let young riders move naturally. Perfect for first lessons, bunny hills, and early days exploring beginner trails.

Why We Like It

Forgiving, Lightweight, and Built to Inspire Confidence:

We like this combo because it takes all the intimidation out of learning. The Micro Mini’s lightweight Select 2.0 Core and beveled reverse camber keep it fun and easy to maneuver, while the Cadet Mini bindings mirror Union’s pro-level design in a smaller, softer package. Together, they deliver the perfect blend of control, safety, and fun for the youngest riders on the mountain.
