Freeride Snowboard
The Different Snowboard Types
Snowboarding is a popular sport with many young adults today. Generally, there are three different types of snowboards. Those are Freeride, Freestyle, and Alpine Boards. The board types are designed for different riding conditions. Choosing the right type of board will help your performance in the terrain you ride in.
The Freeride snowboard is the most popular of the three. This board is intended for all surfaces and has a narrower tail than nose, the Freeride is meant to be ridden in a specific direction. It is maneuverable enough to be ridden by beginners, yet sturdy enough to handle the hard turns of a more experienced rider.
The Freestyle board is shorter and lighter than a Freeride board. It is also wider and softer, which means more flexible, making it easier to turn. While these boards are great for the beginner, they are made for trick riding in parks and such. However, they have a limited edge grip and are not great for sharp turns or speed.
The Alpine board, also known as the Carving board or Race board, is a very narrow board, specifically designed for speed. Having the appearance of an enlarge ski, these boards are great for sharp turns and have great stability at high speeds. While these boards offer higher performance levels for the experienced rider, they are not good for beginning riders because they are so narrow.
Snowboarding is a great sport for many teens and youth today. It's taken the place of the old time sledding. Choosing the appropriate board will ensure that your child will have an enjoyable experience snowboarding.

What is the best women's freeride snowboard height for someone who is 5'3" and 120 lbs? Best snowboard?
The board to the chin method doesent work for all people. For example take two people of the same height but one is 100lbs and the other 150lbs would they really suit the same board?. For your weight and height for a freeride board go for around a 149. Some good freeride boards that you should check out are
Apo Abyss
Rome Blue
Salomon Lark
Elan Sense
Arbor Push

If you are a new rider you might be better off with an All mountain board thats more towards the freeride side of things rather than a freeride percific board. As most freeride boards tend to be for advanced riders who can handle riding at very high speeds and if you are a new rider you will struggle riding that type of board, Good luck.
