The 10 Best Freestyle Snowboards 2024-2025

#10=: Burton Good Company

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Semi Locked-In

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

Starting off the list at #10, we have Burton's Good Company.

Following on from the legacy left behind by the Kilroy Process and Kilroy Twin (both predecessors which were very similar boards), the Good Company is, like the Relapse below, a board that can carve really well, but still manages to be an easy turning board that rips anything in the terrain park.

It also excels at finding side-hits off groomers or buttering around/doing ground tricks wherever it pleases. And of course, has a great time in the park. 

There's just something about softer flexing full camber boards that's just so much fun!

#10=: Arbor Relapse

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Semi-Locked In

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

Speaking of softer flexing, full camber boards - next up we have the Relapse. OK Arbor's camber doesn't feel quite like full camber, but it's camber dominant - and that helps the Relapse to be such a great carver, despite it's friendly flex. 

But while the Relapse's carving is certainly above average for this type of board, it's how it performs in the park that has it making this list. 

And if you're looking for value-for-money in your park deck, look no further than the Relapse. It's the least expensive in this list - and actually went down in price for the second year running, making it even more affordable now. 

But even completely taking price out of the equation, the Relapse is a rad deck!

#9: Bataleon Evil Twin Plus

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Stable (bordering on Semi-Loose)

Smart rating score: 86.4/100

Bataleon's Evil Twin + is a souped up, slightly stiffer, lighter version of the Evil Twin (which we've also linked to below as it's a great freestyle deck in it's own right). 

While it may not be quite as jib friendly as the regular Evil Twin, it packs more punch for jumps and carves. And it feels pretty much what you'd expect it to. A slightly more aggressive, slightly burlier version of the Evil Twin (but still overall not overly aggressive or anything like that).

#8: Rome Agent

Flex: Medium (4.5/5)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 87.0/100

Next up, in the #8 spot, we have the Rome Agent. 

The Agent dominates jumps, but is certainly no slouch on boxes/rails etc. And it loves finding side hits 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.

#7: YES Halldor

Flex: Soft (3/10)

Feel: Loose

Rating score: 87.5/100

If you want stable, predictable and reliable, then the Halldor might not be for you. But if you like you're riding on the edge of the seat.

Something that requires very little in the way of physical effort - with the board doing most of the work for you - but having to get in sync with what it's doing.

And what it's doing  isn't typical of your regular snowboard, but provides you with thrills and a seemingly infinite number of possibilities in terms of creativity. 

If you want a freestyle board that can also carve and handle a bit of speed, this isn't it - but if you want one that will allow you to get super creative with your tricks, then only your imagination is the limit.

#6: Rome Gangplank

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose

Rating score: 87.5/100

At #6, we have Rome's Gang Plank. Another playful, creativity inspiring board, like the Halldor above. But not quite as loose/soft. It gives you a little more stability, but still on the looser side of things. 

But like the Halldor, the Gang Plank is at its best when getting creative with tricks. Tweaking grabs, spins, butters, etc are its forte and it's really at east on rails/boxes.

#5: Capita Ultrafear

Flex: Medium-Soft (4.5/10)

Feel: Stable

Rating score: 88.0/100

Capita's Ultrafear manages to be a relatively stable board (up to certain speeds) but still something you can easily press and tweak. And, while it's not going to tear up the mountain with carving at high speed, it is pretty fun for lower speed carves. 

And this thing can handle larger jumps better than the likes of the previous 2 boards. 

If you like your freestyle feeling a little more stable and want to go bigger, then the Ultrafear is definitely worth a look.

#4: GNU Headspace

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 88.6/100

  *TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The Headspace retains it's place as our #4 board for 2025, for the third year running.  

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. 

Despite the camber dominant C3 profile, it transitions in/out of switch with ease and is also nice and easy to butter around on.

When it comes to riding the park and getting freestyle on the groomers, the Head Space has it all.

#3: YES Jackpot

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 89.1/100

  *TOP TIER 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 a little 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 anyone who likes to go big and also for anyone who often rides in hard/icy conditions a lot too.

#2: Bataleon Disaster Plus

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose (bordering on loose)

Rating score: 90.8/100

At #2, we have the Disaster Plus and have included the Disaster as well. 

The Disaster Plus is slightly stiffer than the regular Disaster, but it's still a really playful, looser feeling board, that owns the jib line.

While it takes that little bit more effort (and really still basically no effort!) to press than the Disaster, it's less prone to over-flexing, making it also a buttering master. Some prefer their boards to be a little stiffer tip/tail to butter with but I like it easy, so long as it doesn't over-flex too easily. 

While you shouldn't expect it to be super solid or expect it to stay stable at speed, this board should give you limitless creativity for rails/boxes etc and ground tricks and side-hits and is super quick edge-to-edge at slow speeds and super effortless to turn on a dime.

#1: Never Summer Proto Slinger

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)

Feel: Semi-Loose

Smart rating score: 91.3/100

Rating it's #1 position, as it has for a few years now, we have Never Summer's Proto Slinger. 

The Proto Slinger manages to walk that tightrope between being super playful and buttery but also having enough oomph to kick it down the L line in the park.

It also has that magic ability to be a really quick, easy turner, but still decent on a carve (at lower speeds) - which also really helps when approaching jumps, as well as just having fun on the groomer on the way to the park. 

Its ability to be playful, snappy and buttery but at the same time having the energy, pop and some degree of aggressiveness to lay down a good carve and hit jumps and side hits with intensity is uncanny. 

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.
