Which size and type of women's snowboard should i get?

Question

I've been snowboarding several times and I think I'm a freestyle boarder but I'm not sure... I also don't know what size of a board, boots, and bindings to get. I wiegh about 104 lbs and I am 5'4. I wear a size 8-81/2 sneaker. I ride about 80% of the time going off jumps in the terrain park. I'm a teenager who's probably done growing... Any advice? Thanks! =D

Answer 1

If you are into freestyle that much, then I suggest that you stick to about 138.  There are lots of great girl's freestyle boards out there.  As for boots, try on a lot of boots before you decide.  You want to have a good fit.  Make sure that you include 32 in the list of candidates as they are the lightest bots on the market - but if they don't fit you well look to another brand.  Get bindings that fit your boot well.  Have fun picking your new equipment!

Answer 2

freestyle= from shoulders to chin

regular riding=chin to nose

burton is a good all around board if your still not sure what type of boarder you are

Answer 3

The best way to try out some different equipment is to rent it, that way you can figure out what works best for you before you waste your money.

I rented a Burton deck and bindings the last time I was in Jackson Hole, WY - and it SHREDDED!!!  (of course, it's all straight down the side of a cliff there!)
