To select the appropriate snowboard, you need to go on a few, try to compare. Or listen to those who have already done it. In testing the Good Wood Award involving hundreds of boards, and as a result is selected 20 male and 10 female. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative review of the annual international snowboarding industry. Selecting the board suggest starting with an introduction to the best representative of the season 2012/2013 according to the Good Wood.
All boards - five models of more than $ 450 and five less than $ 499 - are not inferior to men in terms of bells and whistles. To improve the behavior during rolling are bent lengthwise and crosswise at different angles and in all directions (technology camber, rocker, magne-traction, etc.). Among the dozens of boards have different styles and riding conditions. But you can just as we, girls, love, choose the most beautiful picture. Personally, I am delighted with the boards with elephants.
