Snowboarding Profiles' best women's freestyle snowboards list has now been updated for the 2025-2026 season.
Board Type
The goal of this list is to filter for the snowboards that we believe are the best for freestyle riding, with more emphasis on park performance than freestyle on groomers, but does take side-hits, ground tricks, butter tricks on the groomers into account as well as well as taking into account general riding attributes.
Not as specialized as something like a street/jib board, but more specialized than the likes of an all-mountain or all-mountain-freestyle board.
Board Ratings
As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com, each board will each get a rating out of 100, to give an overall rating specific to how we feel the board performs as a "freestyle" board, as we define it (see above for the type of board that this list is targeting).
Category Stats
Of the 18 current model women's freestyle snowboards that we tested:
O.k. let's get started on the top 5!
#5: GNU Ladies Choice Camber
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Stable
Smart rating score: 86.4/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
Starting off this year's list at #5 is the GNU Ladies Choice Camber (formerly GNU Pro Choice). This is Jamie Anderson's competition board of choice.
Jamie Anderson's other board is the Ladies Choice (and she also has a pow board) - which is similar with the main difference being that, as the name would suggest, the Ladies Choice Camber has a different camber profile (it has GNUs C3 camber which is more camber dominant than the C2X profile on the Ladies Choice). So it's a more aggressive, poppier kind of ride.
Not for the beginner and even low intermediate park rider's might have a little trouble with it - but for those high intermediate to advanced/expert park riders, this board will give back whatever you can throw at it.
It's also really decent for carving up the groomers, when you just feel like laying it on an edge in between park laps. The Ladies Choice Camber is the biggest exception to this list being more about mellower, more playful freestyle type boards.

#4: Bataleon Moodboard
Flex: Soft (3/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose
Smart rating score: 86.4/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
The Moodboard, like it's Bataleon counterpart at #2 below, is really lightweight and has a really playful nature to it.
It's the kind of board that puts zero limits on your creativity and is a master down the jib line and any kind of butter trick. And while it may not be that well suited to large jumps, it's a really fun board for smaller jumps and side-hits.
It turns on a dime and is ultra forgiving and just allows you to go out and try things and have fun and find your flow.

#3: Rome Hype Pro
Flex: Mid-Soft (4.5/10)
Feel: Stable
Smart rating score: 86.4/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Next up we have Rome's Hype Pro, which was formerly called the Rome Heist - and they are essentially the same board, bar the name and the graphic.
The Hype Pro is a great all-round freestyle board that you can just as confidently take you down both the jump line and jib line in the park. And when you're on the groomers is great for buttering around and seeking out side hits.

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose
Smart rating score: 89.1/100

Next up, in the #2 spot, we have Bataleon's Distortia.
It's a super playful, buttery, lightweight, snappy, creativity-inspiring board.
And did I mention it's lightweight? If so, it bears repeating, being the lightest board we've ever weighed!

#1: YES Rival
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Stable
Smart rating score: 91.8/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
Finally, in at #1, we have the YES Rival.
The Rival is a jump machine and will have you boosting off everything in sight. Yet, when you want to get buttery or take a lap down the jib line, it holds its own there too.
Even when you just want to cruise the groomers or lay down a carve, the Rival's got your back. It's too good as a park board to leave out of this category, but would be just as suited to the all-mountain freestyle category.
It's also one of the best choices going around for a freestyle board for hard/icy conditions.
