Alright, so im doing a brother a favor so he can surprise his g/f with a board...

The way you can help, is by telling me what is a good average level women's board that is 143 (i think) and not too steep on the price...

thanks for the help amigos
 
i have no idea if libtech has womens boards, but my friend has one and he is super happy with it. hes really small 2, like 5'5"
 
yeah, my bro is buying it...and he has a pretty damn good job, so he can afford shtuff like this...plus i think he really likes her..
 
first off i snowboard so depends how tall she is adn im sure shes just starting so it doesnt matter what board you get her but burton is a big name out there so definately get a burton but if your looking for quality get a capita rome or academy hmmm tell me about how tall she is and the price range and ill find a board
 
Snowboards my specialty.

Ok, two important things about Burton, it is you size and weight that in measured. For Burton you buy the board that is in your wieght/hight catigory.

I have Forum, and I love it. Flexibilty is beautiful, not heavy, control and preformance is amazing, and speed is off the hook. But I'm very experianced. For a beginner, I would stay away from Forum, just because they will hurt that bored, and its just not worth it. But I don't know her riding capabilities.

Generally if she is 5'5, like a 147-153 will suit her, I'm 5'7 going on to 5'8, and my Board is a 156.

A board also goes by what kind of riding you do, if she's into speed- a thinner body/width of the board. If she's into mountain- a thicker/wider body. If she's into park- a tab smaller for better spin, and overal control.

This is just a small summerization, just get all your information about her, and see what board fits best with her, get something with good graphics, and something that suits her capablities.
 
cheap as possible? go to your local mountain's ski swap sale and pic up something thats like 147-151 height with cool graphics and she'll be fine.
 
DO NOT GET STUFF FROM THE HOUSE! the warranties they have suck ass and prices are over than what they need to be go to zumiez because they have good warrantys. my brother got 3 boards last year for 300$ and 5 paits of boots for 200$ my friend had a board have a manufacturers defect and they wouldnt replace it or send it to the company (ride snowboards)
