The most important differences in snowboards for men and women are often their sizing. These include the width and length of your snowboard, as well as sidecut ratio. The materials used in the core are another important difference. To better suit average women's height, many brands use laminates and woods that are softer. Women's boards might be more suitable for smaller men, while boards that are taller may work well for larger women. Sizing comes down to choosing the best board for your riding style and preferences.
