1. Ride Solace
2. Nitro Fate

Nitro does some of the best female specific boards out there. They put more into R&D of women and children boards than most companies and it shows in their offerings.

1st Choice.........True Spirit 149


2nd Choice........True Competition 149

But then again I am a bit biased! I would say the Spirit is one of the best boards on the market for girls wanting to try their hand at a bit of park and general riding and I dont think there is much out there price wise to compete. Plus it can stand up to a UK dryslope if it so takes your fancy

You're same stats as me other than experiance so I guess that helps.

This may be a bit of fun, but also informative too.because so many noobies (me included) come on here and ask the same question (mostly over 15 different threads) and that is "what board"?
Now that is a hard question when you have to take into account, riding style, height, weight, boot size etc... so lets put together a small list, with the help of all you experienced guy's and girls knowledge to use as a guide for future noobes that come on here with the age old question.

we are working from an average, so lets say our lady is:

Is a total beginner (Rec Level)
5.4" tall
8.5 Stones in weight
Size 4-5 shoes
Wants to ride beginners slopes and learn a few park tricks

now taking all that into account, given that you only would have a (1st) and (2nd) choice, out of ALL the boards you know, what ones would you pick??


1st Choice...................................................


2nd Choice..................................................



let the listing commence
