In truth, snowboards aren’t split firmly along gender lines. What we often call men’s boards would be better described as unisex – if it’s the right size, shape and flex for you, then it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman.

Thankfully, much of the industry steers well clear of ‘shrink it and pink it’ these days; most brands ensure that all of a board’s characteristics are designed to best suit a female rider. They are also, on the whole, less likely to incorporate stereotypical ‘girl-board’ designs – and while you can still find them, model names like ‘Diva’ and ‘Princess’ are far less common these days, too…
