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

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.
