BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S FREESTYLE SNOWBOARD

Board: Capita Space Metal Fantasy
Price: $379
SnowboardingProfiles.com Freestyle Rating Score : 83.0/100
WOMEN'S FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS CATEGORY STATS |
Number of freestyle snowboards looked at: | 19 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $319 | |
Average price of freestyle snowboards: | $419 | |
Average Rating Score: | 80.6/100 |
Why This Board Was Chosen
The Space Metal Fantasy scored higher than the average score for the 19 Freestyle boards that I rated – and it’s also $40 cheaper than the average. That equals value for money in my books – in fact it scored well enough to make my Top 5 Women’s Freestyle Snowboards list, with the other 4 boards in that list all above the average price.
Another notable contender for this list was the Rossignol Meraki ($379 | 81.3 points) and the Arbor Cadence Camber ($399 | 83.0 points) and Cadence Rocker ($399 | 82.4points).
BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S All-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARD

Board: Capita Paradise
Price: $399
SnowboardingProfiles.com All-Mtn-Freestyle Rating Score : 86.0/100
WOMEN'S ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE CATEGORY STATS |
Number of all-mtn-freestyle snowboards looked at: | 26 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $319 | |
Average price of all-mtn-freestyle snowboards: | $457 | |
Average Rating Score: | 79.8/100 |
Why This Board Was Chosen
Another Capita board takes top honors here – and it’s another that made my top 5 for the category, despite it’s modest price. It's $100 cheaper than anything else in that list.
And again, it’s well above the average score and well below the average price (by $58) for the category.
The YES Emoticon is a notable omission – the same price as the Paradise, with a score of 81.5/100.
BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S All-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARD

Board: Rossignol Frenemy
Price: $449
SnowboardingProfiles.com All-Mountain Rating Score : 82.9/100
WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARDS CATEGORY STATS |
Number of all-mountain snowboards looked at: | 18 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $299 | |
Average price of all-mountain snowboards: | $440 | |
Average Rating Score: | 80.3/100 |
Why This Board Was Chosen
The Frenemy makes my Top 6 Women's All-Mountain snowboards list, which doesn't take account price. It's a good step up from the average score and whilst it's no longer cheaper than the average price (it went up $50 for the 2020 model), it's pretty close to.
Honorable mentions to the Salomon Wonder ($399 | 82.3 points), the Arbor Swoon Camber ($459 | 83.5 points), Swoon Rocker ($459 | 82.3 points) and the Never Summer Infinity ($479 | 82.3 points).
BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S FREERIDE SNOWBOARD

Board: GNU Whip
Price: $479
SnowboardingProfiles.com Freeride Rating Score : 84.4/100
WOMEN'S FREERIDE SNOWBOARD CATEGORY STATS |
Number of freeride snowboards looked at: | 15 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $399 | |
Average price of freeride snowboards: | $485 | |
Average Rating Score: | 79.6/100 |
Why This Board Was Chosen
The GNU Whip makes my top women's freeride snowboards list with a very healthy score. That plus it's just under the average price for boards in this category.
Honorable mentions to the Jones Dream Catcher ($479 | 82.2 points) and Lib Tech Dynamiss ($479 | 81.7 points).
BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S BEGINNER SNOWBOARD

Board: Nitro Lectra
Price: $299
SnowboardingProfiles.com Beginner Rating Score : 96/100
WOMEN'S BEGINNER SNOWBOARD CATEGORY STATS |
Number of beginner snowboards looked at: | 31 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $299 | |
Average price of beginner snowboards: | $397 | |
Average Rating Score: | 88.4/100 |
Why This Board Was Chosen
The Lectra was the cheapest equal board that I looked at – and it was the highest that I rated of those costing this price. Not to mention $98 cheaper than the average price.
Price is taken into account for the scores for beginner boards – so this is somewhat skewed in this category.
Honorable mentions also to the Rossignol Gala ($319 | 96 points), Arbor Ethos ($319 | 95 points) and Rossignol Myth ($319 | 94 points).
How the Boards were Chosen
The boards chosen above were not chosen just because they were the cheapest in their category, but because they were the best value for money.
This is a list of cheap snowboards so of course they had to be at a low price but the price-quality ratio was also an important consideration.
