"So the third section of snowboards that we are going to be talking about today is the women's snowboard. It's really important that women ride women's snowboard because the flex, the cica and how the boards are mounted are definitely going to be different from a guys board to a girls board. Women's bodies are different from guy?s bodies, so a women's snowboard is definitely going to be constructed differently for women snowboarders. As you can see right here this is a women's snowboard. It's going to be a lot softer in the flex than a guy's snowboard but it's still going to be stiff enough so you can go and do all their tricks that they want to they're just not going to have muscle the board around as much as if they were to ride a guy's snowboard. These boards are a little bit wider and they're made out of lighter materials. The graphics are more appealing towards women which are always a plus. And like I said before, if you are women?s snowboarder and wanting to learn tricks, definitely ride a women's snowboard. Don't bother with riding a guy's snowboard just because they're made for women?s snowboard. It's definitely good to be riding something that's made for you and for your body type. And this is a generic women's freestyle snowboard."
