As with all the other readers, I wanted to say thanks and that this blog was a great read as I’m researching boards. I’m really excited for your 08-09 reviews. I’m from the Mid-East Coast, and all I’ve had are rentals the past 3 years- plus I don’t even get to go often enough to get a feel for how the boards differ. but it’s still a joy to read up on it 🙂 mind if i shoot you an email?

Thanks for the feedback – I ended up splurging a bit and went for the Polarity. Can’t wait to get on it!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks! Yeah there is very little for women’s reviews out there, so glad that women can come here and find them from a woman rider.

There are a lot of choices out there for boards, glad you decided on two great choices. I’ve only rode the bella once and I borrowed it, but I found it a great charging board. The polarity I have been super happy with, more all mountain freeriding but still playful to take in a variety of conditions. I remember the polarity handling better in crud than the bella and that’s what stands out most to me, other than that, they are both solid choices…can’t go wrong either way.

I'm stoked for the upcoming season and am treating myself for a new board. It's been a long time since I've had to buy one and I'm feeling really overwhelmed by the choices.

Right now I'm looking to choose between the Option 'Bella' and Atomic 'Polarity'.

Any thoughts between the two?

PS - your website was a fantastic surprise after looking high and low for some reviews on women's boards!

Hey Anjie,

Awesome you are getting back into snowboarding and researching your board choice!

Right now is a really good time to find boards, definitely some good women’s boards under $300 like the atomic polarity or K2 Duchess. Definitely depends on weight, boot size and skill level. Are you linking turns? There are a lot of choices out there.

You can always shoot me an email at shayboarder@gmail.com and I’ll help you track down a good board for you.

hi, i stumbled upon your blog, thanks for the reviews!

i'm looking to buy my first snowboard. I learned how to snowboard 7 years ago; however I haven't had the chance to snowboard regularly each season. this winter i'm moving to new england, so i think buying a board would be worthwhile.

i would say i'm an intermediate rider, looking for a "freeride snowboard". i'm looking to spend less than $300 for a board but i'm a bit overwhelmed with the vast number of brands and choices.

could you offer any advice? it would be highly appreciated!

Thanks Meredith, glad you found it and are stoked on the reviews. I haven’t rode the mix yet but heard good things about it. I’ll try to get on the 08-09 mix and post up a review this year. Try it out and see how you like it.
