Is there such thing as a unisex board?

Question

I'm looking to buy my first board and am finding board selection very narrow because I'm a girl and am tending to stick to womens boards while browsing.

I know that the reason for labelling a board as womens has to do with it's flexibility and womens boards are softer than mens. I also know that boards come in a variety of flexibilities and assume that there must be some softer boards that should be labled "unisex" rather than mens. Can you recommend any?

What about bindings? Aside from size is there any difference between womens and mens?

I'm finding it hard to get set up with equipment because of the lack of selection.

Answer 1

girls and boys are made differently. snowboards should be too.

Try the internet.

Answer 2

Some manufacturers do market unisex stuff, but they prefer to stick to the labels of men's, women's, and kid's.   You pretty much answered your own question.  Yes, girl boards are marketed as having less flex, but mens boards range from noodle boards for urban jibbing to titanium laminated planks for extreme carving.  The big difference is graphics.   So, try not to worry about whether is is billed as a girl board or a guy board... if you pick something with moderate or soft flex it will likely be fine for you.  

Ditto with the bindings... the technology is all the same the only difference is the size and color.  

It is hard to imagine having a lack of selection.  There is so much quality stuff out there for both genders!  I hope you find some great equipment and get out there to shred!

Yes there is uni-s*x boards but it really doesnt make a difference as when they usually say its a girls board it is just because of the printing
