She asked for something easy/not aggressive to ride. She’d take the Ollie Pop 148, but I talked her our of it thinking it wouldn’t be enough board. Maybe it would be ok? Hard to tell how relaxed she wants to go…We have been going pretty slow, riding with our 7 year old. So I’m considering the Eminence 146 and last years Rossignol Diva 148 (amptek, looks like camrock), softer than this years, and can be found pretty cheap…but she likes the pretty owls on the Ollie!

Eminence is a bit softer than the Swoon but more aggressive in how it rides if that makes sense. Any reason you aren’t looking at more advanced boards for her? Like the Arbor Push or GNU B-Pro or Roxy Envi?

I’m trying to help pick a board for my girl, We do smaller mountains on the east coast.

She is very competent as a rider, riding for 12 years.
Not going to hit the park, or straight bomb trails, just needs a solid maneuverable board for NY/east coast mountains.
I ruled out the Ollie Pop, judging from your review, it would be more of a beginner board?
She’s 130 lbs, I’m debating between the 146 Eminence and the 147 Swoon.
What do you think? Are they about the same flex longitudinally?
Thanks!
