Below is Snowboarding Profiles' Top 5 list of what we consider to be the best women's freestyle snowboards currently on the market has now been updated for the 2024-2025 season.
Category Stats
Of the 23 current model women's freestyle snowboards that we tested:
O.k. let's get started on the top 5!
#5=: GNU Pro Choice
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 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) - so what's different between the Pro Choice vs the Ladies Choice - the camber profile. The Pro Choice has GNUs C3 camber - which is pretty close to full camber. 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 great for carving up the groomers, when you just feel like laying it on an edge in between park laps.

#5=: Rome Heist
Flex: Mid-Soft (4/10)
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' Heist.
The Heist is a great all-round freestyle board that you can confidently take down both the jump line and jib line. And when you're on the groomers is great for buttering around and seeking out side hits.

#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: YES Menace
Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose
Smart rating score: 89.1/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
The YES Menace, the 2nd in this trio of loose-ish playful boards at #2, #3 & #4, is new for 2025 and comes as a result of the pairing up of YES and Lobster.
The result is a board that's different from anything Yes has produced in the past. Like #4 above and #2 below, the Menace is a playful, creative-juice inducing joy ride that will have you trying things you thought you were never capable of.

Flex: Medium-Soft (3.5/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose
Smart rating score: 89.1/100
Price: View More Info and Current Prices at the links in the tabs below.
Next up, in the #2 spot, we have Bataleon's Distortia.
It's a super playful, buttery, lightweight, snappy, creativity-inspiring little 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.
