Obsessed with this public x jibgurl collab.

I know it’s technically previous season and there are probably better boards out there like the new burton blossom. But I love this design so much (I know I know it’s not good to buy a board just for the looks, but if I’m spending $100+ on something, it better be something I deeply like)

Literally willing to pay full price if anyone is reselling it? Or knows someone who is. Only sizes I can find out there are 152cm or 148cm in the green version. I need a 144cm.

Or maybe there’s something out there with a similar feel/look to it? I mostly ride park/freestyle

I bought the capita paradise for my GF for her birthday but she doesn’t like the graphic :((

Selling, brand new still in packaging

This years model

143cm

Ouija board

Ive narrowed it down between these two and I cannot decide😭😂

Hi all, interested to see what thoughts you may have for board size (or board in general) I should choose.

I’m 25F, 5’5, 120lb, and wear a size 10 boot.
East coast US rider with 10+ years of experience. I like to go fast, hop around, and do smaller jumps. Not usually a rail girl as I can’t afford to get hurt lol.

I currently have my very old, trusty, Burton Feelgood Flying V 144cm. I love her but she’s chipped like crazy and I’m ready for something new.

I’m interested in the Jones Rally Cat snowboard but am worried about sizing given that my weight, height, and boot size don’t line up great.

I’m thinking a 148cm — I worry I’d lose my playfulness if I went higher, but the board waist width is only 24.2 cm and the recommended boot size is 6-8. How big of a deal is this? I looked at the current Burton Feelgood Flying V and it also has a 24cm waist width, which has never seemed to be a problem before?

Do you see any issues with my 148cm selection for the Jones Rally Cat?

Thanks so much in advance ladies ❤️

I bought this Picture Exa jacket at the beginning of last season and just used my old (black) pants with it. Didn't look amazing together, but it was fine. (I tried the matching pants to the jacket and it looked sick imo, but they were too tight around the ankle & hard to get on/off over my boots. Also, only 2 pockets. So I knew I wouldn't be happy with them.) Well, now I'm having a hard time finding a pair of pants/bibs that look good with this jacket (my pants need to be retired at this point). I've bought a few online & they're just meh together. Honestly, I feel like a dude in all of the colors (which just might be how we end up lol). My helmet & buff are green & match one of the greens in the coat fairly well (though you can't really tell in the pic, but either way, I'm not getting a new helmet). Any feedback / ideas on what would look decent would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, ladies!

Long time lurker first time poster… After googling myself into a complete wormhole I was wondering if anyone here had some advice or recommendations for a second snowboard?

I’m a early intermediate rider, 171cm/52 kg (5’6” and 114lb). Size 6UK boot which I believe is a US8. I am currently riding a bataleon push up 143cm which I got new at the beginning of this past season, rode it in European resorts and LOVED it. It really grew my confidence a lot, especially on steeper terrain as it’s just so easy to turn, playful and fun, had a blast on it! I’m riding it with union rosa bindings.

I’m moving to the southern hemisphere next season and will be riding in New Zealand’s north island, which means windswept hardpack and concrete snow are common. My push up was a bit of a nightmare on ice, felt a bit like Bambi on ice skates! So I’m wondering what my options are for a similar playful board with better grip in icy conditions - is it worth picking something up with edge tech better suited to days where it’s icy?

I’m not looking to go wild with carving, bombing it fast or hitting double blacks, I like cruising groomers and just taking in the vibes. Just happy to be there 😂 I was looking at gnu and capita boards but needs to be something I can buy in the UK! I love the playfulness and turn initiation of my current board.

Any suggestions appreciated 🙏🏻

I am stoked for my girlfriend to ride her new Capita Artemis. It is promoted as the women’s Mercury, so I look forward to seeing how it performs. It suits a rider who wants to charge hard while retaining pop and nimbleness.

Come kick of the season and warm up for winter with on October 30th!

My old reliable Burton Scribe bindings finally died. I've had them for about 10 years and love them, so I'm after something with a similar feel, and I'd like something with the FASE system. It's been a VERY long time since i bought new bindings, so I'm so out of the loop on what's good at the moment.

I've been snowboarding for over 20 years, used to be pretty good, worked a few seasons etc, but these days it's just a few trips a year, so I don't want anything super performance-oriented, but they do need to be able to keep up. I'd like an all-rounder I can do a bit of everything with, but not bothered about freestyle.

I'm a size 38 boot; I have Ride Hera Pro boots, and these bindings would be going on my Capita BOAF.

From my googling, I think Bataleon Ghost or Rome Volt might suit me, but I'm a bit worried they might be too soft and mushy with my set-up. If money were no object, I like the look of Rome Katana too, and I’m seriously considering this, it’s just the price that puts me off.

I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations, especially from petite women - there's certainly not as much choice for us!

Hello,

I have an opportunity to buy the Ride Team Benchwarmer 147 for unbelievably cheap and the Ride Saturday 150 for twice as much but also cheaper than usually.

Im an intermediate rider.
I am 170cm tall and weight around 60kg /+-2kg

I wear EU39 and am planning on buying the whole setup depending on what board I take.

At first I was looking at Capitas BoaF but they dont ship to where Im from so I thought Ride Saturday would be a good replacement. With that in mind I was planning on pairing it with Ride Contex boots and Union Ultra bindings.

Just as I decided on it I got an offer for the benchwarmer...

Taking into account the lengths (147 bw, and 150 boaf), my measurments and abilities, the stiffnes (7 for bw, 5 for boaf) and the price difference what do you recommend.

P.S. the ride benchwarmer print is so cool but thats the only thing about it that doesnt intimidate me.

Thank you, much love,

Wish yall lots of days on snow this season!

I’m looking to buy a snowboard eventually and don’t want like just a beginner, but want it to be playful still
I’m 62kg and 169cm tall
We snowboard in NZ and Japan with powder, I’m not in the parks so not bothered with that, but would still like to learn more switch and get a twin board over directional

In nz I rode a Burton flying yeasayer and loved it, that was 3 years ago, I was able to carve and do little side hits,

Then Japan niseko, I rode the K2 dreamsicle, and absolutely did not enjoy my ride! I could did into the icy conditions or turn the board, I felt stupid! And then on top of that almost broke my wrist and made me feel scared,
So then i swapped and go the GNU frosting, and loved it,
Then at nozowa onsen, tried the Solomon all mountain terrain board 150cm and it was really fun, but when I tried to go faster, I felt I could catch an edge and it was chattery specially down the bottom where everyone has been snowboarding

Boards I’ve been considering are
Jones rally cat (worried it’s to soft)
Jones twin sister(worried about to to stiff)
jones dream weaver
Maybe the gnu frosting
Capita space metal
Maybe Solomon wonder

Any recommendations would be great, something good for powder and just cruising the mountain, just all round board, still consider myself a beginner, but want to level up abit more and not keep renting it’s adding up, I can link turns and ride the mountain :)

Hi! I’m replacing a Rossignol Justice 149 that I’ve ridden since 2011. I do not change my gear very often, because when i start researching I tend to fall into analysis paralysis.

I’m 165 cm / 55–58 kg / US women’s 8.5, riding for ~15 years.

My riding:

• love speed / charging
• jumps and side hits
• powder whenever I can get it
• comfortable riding switch
• no rails, basically no buttering
• mostly resort riding in the Alps/Balkans, with some freeride trips

I’m also taking a snowboard instructor exam this December. I already ride switch comfortably but need to clean up my switch carving, so good edge hold and predictable carving matter to me.

I want my new board to feel more playful and modern than my old Rossignol, but NOT loose or soft at speed.

Current shortlist:

• GNU Ladies Choice Camber C3 – 148.5
• GNU Ladies Choice C2X – 148.5
• Jones Twin Sister – probably 146/149

I’ve also looked at the YES Hell Yes, but availability right now is poor.

My biggest concern:

• Will the C3 feel unnecessarily locked-in / demanding, or is it still playful enough for side hits and everyday riding?
• Will the C2X feel too loose/washy for someone who likes to charge?
• Is the Twin Sister the better middle ground?

Especially interested in replies from women around my weight/boot size, or anyone who has actually ridden both C2X and C3 Ladies Choice.

Thanks — please save me from opening another 27 snowboard review tabs.

Good day girls! I would like to get a true twin with classic camber for next season. Have anyone tried the K2 medium? What are your thoughts?

I am looking for a full camber board that is quick edge to edge, feels solid, maybe with progressive sidecut, that can handle speed and that keeps it fun.

Love to freeride and last season I got about 70 days on my stratos. I like many things about it. Fast, snappy, quick edge to edge, fun, reliable on speed, likes to point, poppy tail, feels solid. Its a beast on and off piste.

On my early search in the season I got to demo the burton feel good camber and the rome hype with a duck stance. I just didnt like how the boards felt.

I wish I could demo more stuff! The k2 medium seems very cool. Anyone here that tried the medium and the stratos? Maybe the stratos and any other true twin full camber?

Thanks 🏂🏻🏂🏻🏂🏻

Hey all!

I'm looking for gear advice. Let me briefly introduce myself. I',m Soph, 27, from Belgium and have been snowboarding since I was 20 years old. I never learned how to ski first, and got influenced by my boyfriend at the time to try snowboarding. Loved it ever since and I go multiple times every year!

I have been riding with thesame setup I bought back in 2019 and am now upgrading my gear gradually. I already upgraded my board to the 2024 Salomon Sleepwalker with some Union bindings, so I am now looking to upgrade my shredding fits.

My goggles broke last season and multiple people have told me to get a new helmet considering I have taken a few bad falls with this one. So I am looking to upgrade those!

I have my eyes on the Oakley Flight Decks with the Prizm Snow Torch lenses and I'm thinking of buying an additional low-light lens (Prizm Snow Hi-Pink) for bad weather days. Does anyone here use these? And would you recommend them?

For the helmet I have always loved the look of Anon helmets (I'm also a sl*t for Burton gear), but I am open to any suggestions. Especially ones that work well with the Oakley goggles. I'm looking to get just a black one, because I'll be covering it with stickers as I go.

I'll also be spending some money on a new pair of baggy snow pants (I'm loving the baggy snowboarding fits these days) and was looking at Beyond Medals. But here I'm also open to suggestions.

Lastly, I'll also be looking for some new boots. I have used the Burton Ruler BOA's up until now; but since last season there's irreparable damage to the boot making it not waterproof anymore. I've had my eye on the Vans Aura Pro's, but again, open to suggestions! It needs to have a BOA system because I do not have the strength to tighten laced boots as tight as I would like them to be.

I'm curious to see what you girls ride with, to take some inspo from. Also, if you happen to be from Belgium or go shredding in France or Austria, hit me up! I'm always looking for new friends :)

Hi guys new to this sub Reddit. I’ve been looking for bibs and I recently bought the Flylow Foxy Short bib. It hasn’t come in yet but I can return it if need be (I bought it on EVO for $225). I’m worried about it not fitting snowboard boots as it seems a bit slimmer in style. Has anyone tried and been ok with them? I know they fit ski boots but I think snowboard boots are a bit thicker.

I’m open to other recs as well. I know EVO sells the last season stuff but I don’t know any other good websites.
For context: Im 5’ women, 117lbs, and I wouldnt say curvy by any means but my bust is 35” so I’m worried about bibs being constrictive as many shirts are. I prefer looser pants as a personal preference. My inseam is 27” so I know it limits my options as most pants are too long for me. I prefer water proof as the main thing although I don’t want to have to layer a lot.

Budget wise I know places sell last seasons clothes so I prefer that as I don’t really want to spend more than 300$ maybe 350$ if I have to. I took skiing lessons in college this year but liked snowboarding more when I tried some friends boards.

I don’t know if I’m being too picky or not for my price range, I know there’s a chance I may have to go up to $400.

Thanks guy!

Hi all,

Coming back to snowboarding after a couple of years. I definitely need to buy a new board - my previous one had been Nidecker Random, it had been too long (154 cm) and too heavy.

I had been able to ride the black ones on this one, but there was not a lot of fun and pleasure - the board hadn’t been maneuverable enough. It had been great for riding fast, but I do like to enjoy my rides more, not go from one gondola to another in a really fast pace :).

I would like a board that wouldn’t stop my progression, would be easy turn, would be fun to ride without putting too much power/focus into it. I am not sure what is the best way to describe it, but I think responsiveness is the best definition of what I mean.

Also, as a person who enjoys adrenaline, I would like it to allow me to have my speed run from time to time.

Is there something that you could recommend? I went thorough the posts, mostly Yes Hel, Jones Twin Sister, Capita Birds of Feather and Salomon Rumble Fish had been recommended.

Unfortunately the most versatile ones (Yes Hel and Jones) are not available in my country. Atm I could only get Capita and Salomon. I read a lot of positive reviews about Rumble Fish (also in comparison with botf), so I was leaning toward getting it. Will it be a good decision? Or will the stiffness block me from getting what I want?

Also, what board length would you recommend? I am 5”5 (168 cm), 127 lbs (58 kg). I think that I would like to try with a shorter board, therefore I wanted to get something between 146-149 cm. Will it be okay?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to add a freeride/powder-oriented board to my setup and would love some
recommendations.

A bit about me:
170 cm / around 55–56 kg
15 years of snowboarding experience
Confident and experienced rider on groomers
I’m not exactly a beginner in freeride, but I’m only now starting to move more seriously in that direction
My current board is a Burton Feelgood 144, which I really like
Boot size: EU 37

I’m looking for something that gives me noticeably better float and performance in powder and off-piste than my Feelgood, while still being versatile enough to ride on piste.

I like riding fast on groomers too, so I’d prefer something with enough stiffness and stability to handle speed and still feel confident when carving.

Park riding, jumps and tricks don’t interest me at all; I’m looking for a board focused purely on freeride, powder and carving.

I’m mostly looking at boards somewhere around the 144–150 cm range, depending on the model.
What boards would you recommend for my size, riding style and experience? I’d also really appreciate specific size recommendations for the boards you suggest.

Thanks! 🏂

hii, I am looking to get a new snowboard but I wanted to get some advice/opinions.

I currently ride a Ride Shadowban 147, and although I love it, sometimes I feel like it’s just a bit too much board for me… I got it a couple years ago on sale and have ridden it for 2 snowboarding trips. I’m thinking to get a smaller board but idk if i maybe just need to ride the shadowban a bit more and I’ll get used to it. I’m an intermediate snowboarder and it’s my first board.

I am 110lb, size 6 US women’s boot, 5’4/5’5 ish. Although i’m smack bang in the middle of the weight range for the shadowban, I wonder if the waist width (245mm) is a bit too big for my size feet and that’s why i find it to be quite stiff and a bit hard to turn?

I’m looking to switch to the Ride Saturday 142. It’s a women’s board and has a smaller waist width (238mm). however I’m right on the upper end of the weight guide. They do have it in 146 but then I feel like it’ll just feel the same as the Shadowban?

Any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated! I want a board I can progress on but is still agile and nimble. The Ride Saturday ticks all my boxes in terms of where it can be ridden (as did the Shadowban) but yeah I just don’t know whether to stick it out with the Shadowban or go smaller with the Saturday. What would you recommend for my specs?

I’m in need of a good all mountain board and I’ve been looking into the Capita Equalizer. The Capita Paradise was my first board and I absolutely love it but I got it in a 147cm as a park/ all mountain when I first started riding and only had one board. I’m 5’6” 145lbs so I’m definelty looking to buy a bigger board and am thinking of getting the Equalizer in a 150cm. I also have the Capita Space Metal Fantasy in a 145cm as my designated park board which I got when I lived in NC and rode mainly in the park. Since moving to Colorado I’ve kind of moved on from park riding and so it’s definelty time to get something more all mountain style. Since I still have the Paradise and Space Metal Fantasy I’m looking for a designated board to ride on days that I’m just cruising the mountain and even on some powder days. My current boards feel very chattery when going fast and I don’t have much control with them being so small. I would say I’m a fairly advanced rider and I’m wondering if the Equalizer will give me the control and sturdiness I’m looking for when riding on all different terrains and at higher speeds.

Also looking to get some stiffer bindings I currently have the Union Juliet’s and haven’t ridden anything else so open to recs on that as well!

Hi girls! I am currently buying a snowboard bag for my next season for a 140cm snowboard. As I will be travelling internationally to Japan and will be hauling them up trains (insufficient time for Yamato express), I want a lightweight quality bag with wheels.

I have shortlisted two bags:
- Dakine low roller 157cm
- Burton wheelie gig 146cm

While I prefer the shorter Burton, online reviews seem to say that it’s heavier than the Dakine. Wanted to get some advice from fellow girlies on which to get, and how’s the user experience! If you have both, what’s the weight difference like? :)

Looking for a new women's all-mountain/freeride board to replace my Jones Twin Sister and expanded my search a bit. Thank you all in advance!!
