If big-mountain pow turns are calling your name, look no further than the Arbor Swoon snowboard.

On-mountain rocker design offers reliable, all-aspect performance in deep powder, tight trees, technical steeps, carvable groomers and big backcountry kickers
Parabolic rocker shape ensures that outside contact points engage with the snow when maximum edge control is needed; this means loaded turns, higher speeds and bigger landings
Rocker-specific flex pattern enhances the ride on this de-cambered board, easing turns, spins and presses
Wide, drawn-out tips support on-mountain and backcountry riding with deep snow performance; enhanced nose length offers good float in powder
Grip Tech sidecut makes 4 points of contact underfoot for improved and direct edge control; contact points create heel and toe pivot points for faster, more efficient turning
Directional twin shape equalizes stance to activate the contact points underfoot and enhance the rocker; longer nose offers easier riding in deeper snow
Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable production, this core is the most versatile core made by Arbor, offering reliable return and durability
Bamboo power plies act like a third layer of fiberglass to structurally enhance the board; this composite layer maximizes return and improves durability
Topsheet features a protective ultrathin finish, made from a castor-bean-based bio-plastic, that guards against damage caused by loose bindings and unforeseen impacts
ABS/urethane blend sidewall construction provides maximum durability and excellent edge control
With a high molecular weight, the wax-infused sintered base provides unmatched durability and speed
Built with 60% recycled steel edges for maximum durability and performance

Comments about Arbor Swoon Snowboard - Women's - 2012/2013:

My wife is an intermediate snowboarder. She had a camber board before and didn't have any trouble going to the full rocker Swoon. I was worried it would be sketchy on hardpack/ice, but she says it's fine.
She weighs about 130# and has the 151. She has no trouble making turns on steeper trails. Probably could have gotten the 148, but she is fine on the 151.
It's stable and easy to turn. Not as soft as a freestyle/jib board, but not as stiff as a strictly freeride board.
If you are an aggressive, fast, advanced woman, check out the cambered Arbor Push. If you are a relaxed all mountain rider, maybe a little freestyle, go for the full rocker Swoon.
