Hello to all the snowboarding girls. I snowboard for about 4-5 years and last year my girlfriend decided that she wants to join me. We did a couple of rides together, helped her out and she did pretty well, she already kinda controls her speed with heels but of course she hasn't been able to carve this soon. I want to make her a gift to buy her her first gear. Snowboard,binding,clothes,helmet etc. I did some research and showed her the metal space fantasy board(freestyle/all mountain zero profile) and the birds of feather(all mountain, camber profile) I know that birds of feather could be more valuable when she got to the point that she will want to carve, but the space fantasy one, will help her more to learn control and turns at rookie speeds and also will help her with the pops and ollie's as long as that's something she likes a lot and want to learn. Any of you got any advices or feedback on these boards?

I am looking for a new easy going, fun board primarily for the slopes:)

ATM I’m riding a Nitro Fate Zero, and I always loved it but since it is 9 years old by now, I feel like a new addition could not hurt.

For powder I’m riding a CAPITA Spring Break and I’ve also purchased a CAPITA Birds of Feather a couple Seasons ago as a first attempt to replace my Nitro. I honestly really hated the feeling of the Birds of a Feather on the snow and only took it to the mountains like 4 times 😅

I was living in Austria right in the mountains a couple of years so for my riding level I would say I’m advanced in terms of terrain but I’m not doing anything crazy and don’t feel the need Need anymore to always push myself to the limits.

I’m looking for a board that is fun on the slopes, but can also catch an edge when it gets I little icy (so maybe not a full rocker?!). In basically just carrying about a good time, maybe some little sidehits and if the stars a could even a little jump on the medium line in the funpark.

My boards are all 147/148 and that size suits me well.

If you have any recommendations please let me know and if I forgot any information to share please let me know 💕
