Past Season Freestyle Snowboard Lists

Snowboarding Profiles' Top 10 list of what we consider to be the best freestyle snowboards currently on the market has now been updated for the 2022-2023 season. 

As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com, each board will each get a rating out of 100.

Of 37 different freestyle/park boards rated:

O.k. here’s the top 10!

FREESTYLE BOARD #10

Board: Slash Happy Place

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list at #10 is the Happy Place by Slash. A staple in this top 10 list for several years now - and for good reason. 

If doing sick park laps all day is your thing, whether down the jump line or jib line, then riding this board will definitely take you to your happy place!

Score Breakdown for the Happy Place

FREESTYLE BOARD #9

Board: Arbor Relapse

Flex: Medium (4/10)

Feel: Semi-Locked In

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

>>See Full Review

The #9 position goes to the Relapse.  

If you're looking for value for money in your park deck, look no further than the Relapse. It's one of the least expensive in this list.

But completely taking price out of the equation, the Relapse is a rad deck! It's got plenty of snap, crackle and pop and can actually lay down a pretty good carve - but still somehow manages to handle the jib line as well as the jump line. 

Score Breakdown for the Relapse

FREESTYLE BOARD #8

Board: Capita Scott Steven's Pro

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 86.4/100

>>See Full Review

At #8 we have the Capita Scott Stevens Pro.

If you're looking for a board to dominate the jib line and one that is super buttery and playful, then look no further. It can hold it's own on jumps too, particularly smaller ones, but the strength of the Scott Stevens pro is to press and butter everything in sight. 

Score Breakdown for the Scott Steven's Pro

FREESTYLE BOARD #7

Board: Rome Agent

Flex: Medium (4.5/5)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 87.0/100

>>See Full Review

Next up we have the Rome Agent. 

The Agent dominates jumps, but is certainly no slouch on boxes/rails etc. And it loves finding sidehits on groomers, when riding outside the park. 

But as well as its freestyle prowess, the Agent can rip a pretty decent carve too, when you just feel like leaving some thin lines on the groomers. 

Score Breakdown for the Agent

FREESTYLE BOARD #6

Board: Niche Wraith

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 87.0/100

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

>>See Full Review

The Niche Wraith comes in at #6. 

Just a nice soft flexing, yet snappy fun freestyle board that can handle the jump and jib lines equally well. It's also not bad running some fun groomer laps with your buddies, especially if your eyeing up those side hits on your way. 

Score Breakdown for the Wraith

FREESTYLE BOARD #5

Board: YES Dicey

Flex: Medium (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 87.5/100

>>See Full Review

The YES Dicey is the baby brother of the Jackpot (see #3 below).

Versus the new Jackpot, the Dicey has Camrock (2-4-2) versus the Jackpots traditional camber profile - and it's a little softer, making it more forgiving and more playful than the Jackpot.

It's still more jump dominant and prefers jumps over jibs, but it's a little more buttery and playful all round versus the Jackpot. 

Score Breakdown for the Dicey

FREESTYLE BOARD #4

Board: GNU Headspace

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 88.0/100

>>See Full Review

The Headspace is our #4 board for 2023.  

The Head Space is so snappy and fun and will make you want to launch off whatever you can find, be it in the park or on the groomers - and, if your so inclined, it's a joy to spin on too. 

With it's asym shape it's awesome to ride swith and, despite the camber dominant C3 profile, transitions in/out of switch with ease. It's also nice and easy to butter around on.  

Score Breakdown for the Headspace

FREESTYLE BOARD #3

Board: YES Jackpot

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 89.1/100

>>See Full Review

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The YES Jackpot is a great option if you like to break up your park laps and feel the need for speed or if you want to lay down some carves – and whenever you see natural hits on your journey down the rest of the mountain – this board becomes super fun.

It would also score very well as an all-mountain-freestyle board. But where it really dominates is in the park - and particularly down the jump line - this board can hit any sort of jump and feel good. 

It’s a great option for it’s versatility in that sense and also for anyone who rides in hard/icy conditions a lot too. 

Score Breakdown for the Jackpot

FREESTYLE BOARD #2

Board: Bataleon Disaster

Flex: Soft (3/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose

Smart rating score: 90.8/100

At #2 and a newcomer to this list for 2023, the Bataleon Disaster is a loose, playful, jib and buttering machine. 

If you want a really easy going board to get super playful and creative on in the park - or something that makes it easy to get started in the park, then the Disaster might just be your perfect match. 

Score Breakdown for the Disaster

FREESTYLE BOARD #1

Board: Never Summer Proto Slinger

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose

Smart rating score: 91.3/100

>>See Full Review

And the #1 spot goes to the Never Summer Proto Slinger.

The Proto Slinger has the uncanny ability of being playful, snappy and buttery but at the same time has the energy, pop and some degree of aggressiveness to lay down a good carve and hit jumps and sidehits with intensity.

When you want to attack and be more aggressive the Proto Slinger responds, but when you want to dial it back and be playful, it has the ability to change it's personality, seemingly with just a thought!  

Score Breakdown for the Proto Slinger

Feel: Loose

Smart rating score: 85.2/100

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

>>See Full Review

Another of the better jibbers in the list, the Skate Banana, comes in at #9.

The biggest weakness of the Skate Banana (in the most important freestyle factors) was in jumps – but it still performed really well in that category.

And if hitting rails, boxes and any other obstacle you can find is your thing then the Skate Banana will be an awesome deck to have beneath your feet. 

If you often ride in hard/icy conditions but still like a loose feel for your freestyle board, then this might be the ideal ride for you.

FREESTYLE BOARD #8

Smart rating score: 85.2/100

>>See Full Review

If you're looking for a snappy energetic park board and like full camber, but want it with a softer flex, then the Kilroy Twin should be on your list. 

This board kills it for park (particularly down the jump line) and side hits.

FREESTYLE BOARD #7

Coming in at #7 is the Happy Place by Slash. A staple in this top 10 list for a few years now - and for good reason. 

If doing sick park laps all day is your thing, whether down the jump line or jib line,  then riding this board will definitely take you to your happy place!

Oh yeah and if your wallet isn’t bulging, this board will make you even happier. It’s the second cheapest on this list – the performance-to-cost ratio of this board is outstanding! A great choice for anyone on a tight budget.

FREESTYLE BOARD #4

Board: GNU Headspace

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Smart rating score: 87.4/100

The Headspace is our #3 board for 2022.  

I've been looking to get on this deck for years. And when I finally did, it definitely didn't disappoint. 

It's so snappy and fun and will make you want to launch off whatever you can find, be it in the park or on the groomers - and, if your so inclined, it's a joy to spin on too.

FREESTYLE BOARD #3

Board: YES Dicey

Flex: Medium (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 88.5/100

>>See Full Review

The YES Dicey is the baby brother of the Jackpot (see #2 below). It's very similar to the 2020 Jackpot (which changed for 2021 & 2022), but just a little softer flexing. 

Versus the new Jackpot, the Dicey gets the Camrock (2-4-2) that the 2020 Jackpot had - so all round just a little softer, more forgiving and more playful than the new Jackpot (which is full camber). 

Score Breakdown for the Dicey

FREESTYLE BOARD #2

Board: YES Jackpot

Flex: Medium (5/5)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 90.7/100

>>See Full Review

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The YES Jackpot got a rebuild for 2021 (and remains the same for 2022). It now has a full camber profile and feels just a little stiffer (don't think the core is supposed to be any stiffer, but more camber can sometimes do that to the feel). 

The Jackpot was and still is a great option if you like to break up your park laps and feel the need for speed or if you want to lay down some carves – and whenever you see natural hits on your journey down the rest of the mountain – this board becomes super fun.

It would also score very well as an all-mountain-freestyle board. But where it really dominates is in the park - and particularly down the jump line - this board can hit any sort of jump and feel good. 

It’s a great option for it’s versatility in that sense and also for anyone who rides in hard/icy conditions a lot too. 

Overall for 2021 (and 2022) it's just that little bit more aggressive. If you want something more similar to the 2020 Jackpot, check out the Dicey (see #3 above).

FREESTYLE BOARD #1

Board: Never Summer Proto Slinger

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose

Smart rating score: 91.8/100

>>See Full Review

And the #1 spot goes to the Never Summer Proto Slinger.

It was new for 2021 (the same for 2022), but essentially a replacement for the old Funslinger. The main way it differs from the Funslinger is in the camber profile. It got more camber - Never Summer's Shock Wave camber - which essentially adds more camber and reduces the amount of rocker. 

But the Proto Slinger still has all the butterability of the Funslinger and is still remarkably playful, snappy and super fun. You could say it got mildly more aggressive, but only really when you go for a more aggressive carve. 

They've somehow improved it for carving, without taking away from everything that was great about the Funslinger.

Not going to lie, I was worried when they said they were replacing the Funslinger, which I really loved and just such a fun board, but as soon as I popped my first ollie on the Proto Slinger, all my fears evaporated (and I ended up buying one!)

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Semi-Locked In

The #6 position goes to the Paramount. 

It's the most aggressive board on this list and has heaps of pop and power when it comes to jumps and really solid on landing and approach. 

As well as all that camber, it also has a nice light core, making it easier to get air and spin. 

Not ideal for the jib line, IMO, and not the easiest to butter - but for the jump line and for carving up groomers on the way to the park or natural hits, it's a beast. If you're looking for an aggressive jump park board that would fit almost as well in an aggressive all-mountain-freestyle category, the Paramount should be on your list.

>>TOP 10 FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS (Latest Season)

In compiling this list I rated 38 different freestyle/park boards:

FREESTYLE BOARD #10

Board: Arbor Westmark Camber

Price: $469

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 83.0/100

>>See Full Review

The Westmark Camber is on the aggressive side, due to it's camber and being a little stiffer than most on this list. But Arbor's system camber is a little more mellow than a traditional full camber feel - so it's not quite as aggressive as you would expect. 

Still, it has heaps of pop, is super stable on landings, spins easily and can be taken out of the park for some good carves too. 

Not the best on this list for jibbing/buttering but for the jump line, natural hits on the mountain, ollies and basically anything else airborne, this is a killer deck.  

Score Breakdown for the Westmark Camber

FREESTYLE BOARD #9

Board: Capita Ultrafear

Price: $479

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 83.5/100

>>See Full Review

The Ultrafear is the best jibber on this list, so if you spend a lot of time in the jib line in the park or do a lot of Urban riding, then the Ultrafear is worth looking at.

In fact, if I did a separate category for jib/street boards it would likely be quite close to the top, if not the top. But it’s certainly no slouch over jumps either. It’s super easy to spin and to press – an awesome board for all-day park laps.

Not something that’s great outside of the park, but awesome for park laps.

FREESTYLE BOARD #8

Board: Never Summer Dipstick

Price: $539

Flex: Soft (3/10)

Feel: Loose

The Dipstick is new in Never Summer's line for 2020. It sort of replaces the Warlock but not exactly. 

This is a super buttery, super playful loose feeling board. If you wanting something about as easy going and buttery as it gets, then the Dipstick is a great option for the job.

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The YES Basic is one of those boards that could be considered a mellow all-mountain-freestyle or freestyle. I've chosen to include it in the Freestyle list this year, as I think that's where it's at it's best. 

The Basic is a nice consistent, buttery yet stable board that is a great board for beginners, intermediate riders and freestyle/park riders a like. A great all-round freestyle option, especially for those who encounter hard/icy conditions regularly.

And if hitting rails, boxes and any other obstacle you can find, is your thing then the Skate Banana will be an awesome deck to have beneath your feet. 

Just a great all-round freestyle board that isn't too bad outside of the park too.

If you often ride in hard/icy conditions but still like a loose feel for your freestyle board, then this is going to be the ideal ride for you.

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Coming in at #5 is the Happy Place by Slash.

If you are looking for a board that can handle switch, jibs and jumps with equal aplomb and can also do a bang up job in the pipe – then the Slash Happy Place is a great pick.

Whilst it doesn’t get a perfect score in any of the categories, it’s close to it on all the important ones for ripping it up in the park and pipe.

If doing sick park laps all day is your thing then riding this board will definitely take you to your happy place!

Oh yeah and if your wallet isn’t bulging, this board will make you even happier. It’s the cheapest on this list – the performance-to-cost ratio of this board is outstanding! The best choice for anyone on a tight budget.

This was the first time I tested Endeavor boards and the Pioneer really impressed - enough so to get the #3 spot. 

It's most suited to jumps and spins, but is fine for jibs too - and is nice and easy to butter.  It's also not bad outside of the park - so a great option if you want to get outside the park every now and then for some groomer laps or smash some sidehits.

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The YES Jackpot. This board is a demon in the park – no matter what you like to do in there – so if you like to do it all, the Jackpot will be a great weapon.

But if you like to break up your park laps and feel the need for speed or if you want to lay down some carves, then the Jackpot can tackle that too – and whenever you see natural hits on your journey down the rest of the mountain – this board becomes super fun.

It would also score very well as an all-mountain-freestyle board.

It’s a great option for it’s versatility in that sense and also for anyone who rides in hard/icy conditions a lot too. 

NOTE: The Jackpot underwent more changes for the 2020 model. It's now a wider platform overall and has a different sidecut radius. IMO this has been an improvement to an already sick deck!

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

And the #1 spot goes to the Never Summer Funslinger.

After riding the 2020 model, I liked this board even more than before. It's just a super fun and lively ride. 

The Funslinger nails all the important freestyle performance factors – and can definitely play in the pipe and over the rest of the mountain too.

This thing has got plenty of pop, is super easy to spin and is really fun for anything park or for natural hits – and as a bonus it actually carves pretty well for a freestyle deck.

But you can also hit the jib line with confidence on this board and it butters with ease - making it a great all-round freestyle option.

Compared to most boards on this list, the Kilroy process has a more aggressive feel. It's still quite soft-flexing, but has a full camber profile. 

All that camber, among other things, helps to give this board some mean pop, as well as stability for the approach to jumps and landing. Overall, this board is sick on jumps! 

It's also capable on the rest of the mountain (bar powder), if you want to lay down some carves on the way to the park. 

Not a super buttery board, and not the best on jibs - but great for all other freestyle elements.

Another great jibber in the list, the Skate Banana, comes in at #7.

The biggest weakness of the Skate Banana (in the most important freestyle factors) was in jumps – but it still performed really well in that category.

And if hitting rails, boxes and any other obstacle you can find, is your thing then the Skate Banana will be an awesome deck to have beneath your feet. 

Just a great all-round freestyle board that isn't too bad outside of the park too.

If you often ride in hard/icy conditions but still like a loose feel for your freestyle board, then this is going to be the ideal ride for you.

Board: Arbor Westmark Camber

Price: $449

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 84.1/100

The Westmark Camber is on the aggressive side, due to it's camber and being a little stiffer than most on this list. But Arbor's system camber is a little more mellow than a traditional full camber feel - so it's not quite as aggressive as you would expect. 

Still, it has heaps of pop, is super stable on landings, spins easily and can be taken out of the park for some good carves too. 

Not the best on this list for jibbing/buttering but for the jump line, natural hits on the mountain, ollies and basically anything else airborne, this is a killer deck.
