Top 5 Women’s Freestyle Snowboards 2019-20 (Past Season)

Board: Arbor Cadence Camber

Price: $399

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Rating: 83.0/100

Starting off the list in 5th= we have Arbor's Cadence Camber. 

If the jump line is your forte, then the Cadence camber will treat you well there - whether for small, medium or large jumps. 

It's the weakest jibber on this list, but it's one of the best options for jumps - and if you like to throw in some carves on the groomers every now and then, or on the way to the park. 

There is also a Cadence Rocker - same as the Cadence Camber but with a rocker profiles (as the name suggests). It's also a good option - but has different strengths and weaknesses. I have included the scores for both below.

Board: Capita Space Metal Fantasy

Price: $379

Flex: Medium-Soft (3/10)

Rating: 83.0/100

If hitting rails and boxes – or any other jib for that matter – is your thing, then the Space Metal Fantasy should be at or near the top of your list. Along with the Glider (see #3 below) it’s the best of all the women’s freestyle boards I looked at for jibbing.

It’s also, as a freestyle snowboard should be, great at riding in either direction and whilst not the top jumper in this list, is still good for jumps, especially small to medium jumps.

It's not the top board on this list in terms of the rest of the mountain, but it will get you to the park - and that's where this board comes into it's own.  

It’s also the lowest priced board on this list.

Board: Never Summer Shade

Price: $479

Flex: Soft (3/10)           

Rating: 83.5/100

In at #4 we have the Never Summer Shade.

The Shade is new for 2020 and adds in a much needed soft, buttery, playful, freestyle deck to their women's line. 

This board is super fun and great for those that like their park riding playful or for those just starting out riding freestyle.

Board: Lib Tech Glider

Price: $499

Flex: Medium Soft (4/10)

Rating: 85.2/100

Coming in at #3 is the Lib Tech Glider. 

This year Lib Tech decided to bring in a women's specific line, instead of having smaller, narrower sizes for some of their boards. The Glider though, is essentially a women's version of the Skate Banana. 

If you’re looking for a loose, playful, surfy, ride that’s great on jibs, great for butters and can also perform well on jumps, particularly small to medium jumps, then the Skate Banana could be the board for you.

Board: GNU Pro Choice

Price: $569

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Rating: 86.3/100

The Pro Choice, our #2 selection, is an evolution of the Ladies Choice. 

The Ladies Choice still exists, but I have decided to move it to my all-mountain-freestyle category instead, where it will most likely make that top 5, once I update that list. 

So what's different about the Pro Choice - the camber profile. It 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 intermediate rider's might have a little trouble with it - but for those advanced park riders, this board will give back whatever you can throw at it. 

It's also great for carving outside the park. The biggest downside is that it only comes in one size - 148.5. But if that's a suitable size for you and you're advanced freestyle rider, this a great choice.

Board: Endeavor Pioneer

Price: $549

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Rating: 87.4/100

And at #1 we have the Endeavor Pioneer. 

This is a unisex board by Endeavor that comes in sizes more suitable to suitable to a lot of women. 

It's one of those boards that can handle any kind of jump, but also manages to be nice and buttery. It's great for spins and no slouch outside of the park too. 

Plus if you want to make use of the Channel system on a non-Burton board, Endeavor uses that binding mounting system too.
