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 2023-2024 season.

Of 36 different freestyle/park boards rated:

O.k. here’s the top 10!

FREESTYLE BOARD #10=

Board: Bataleon Evil Twin

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable (but bordering on loose)

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list at #10 is the Bataleon Evil Twin. 

The Evil Twin is a playful, snappy snowboard that excels at everything park and freestyle. Whether you want to butter around, attack side-hits, hit jumps or features in the park, the Evil Twin has you covered. 

Score Breakdown for the Evil Twin

FREESTYLE BOARD #10=

Board: Slash Happy Place

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

Next up we have 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!

FREESTYLE BOARD #9

Board: Arbor Relapse

Flex: Medium-Soft (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 - and actually went down for the 2024 model (without any downgrades).

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: Burton Good Company

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Semi Locked-In

Smart rating score: 85.9/100

>>See Full Review

In at #8, 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 above, a board that can carve really well, but still manages to be an easy turning board that rips anything in the terrain park. And also excels at finding sidehits off groomers or buttering around.

FREESTYLE BOARD #7

Board: Bataleon Evil Twin Plus

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Feel: 

Smart rating score: 86.4/100

Bataleon's Evil Twin + is a souped up, slightly stiffer, lighter version of the Evil Twin (see #10 above). 

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). 

Score Breakdown for the Evil Twin Plus

FREESTYLE BOARD #6

Board: Rome Agent

Flex: Medium (4.5/5)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 87.0/100

>>See Full Review

Next up, in the #6 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. 

Score Breakdown for the Agent

FREESTYLE BOARD #5

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 #5. 

Just a nice soft flexing, 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 #4

Board: GNU Headspace

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Feel: Stable

Smart rating score: 88.6/100

>>See Full Review

The Headspace retains it's place as our #4 board for 2024.  

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.  

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 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 it’s versatility 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

>>See Full Review

At #2, 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. 

It's not much outside the park, but does just enough to get you back for your next park lap.

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 finally, 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 side hits 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.
