Description of Burton Feelgood Snowboard - Women's:
Kelly Clark and Molly Aguirre drive the development of Burton's legendary Women's Feelgood. Join up. Burton designed the all-mountain freestyle Feelgood with a women's-specific size and a medium flex. The Feelgood Snowboard's Carbon I-Beam gives enhanced longitudinal snap, and Dualzone EGD construction delivers precision edge hold when you charge hard. Burton's Super Fly II wood core is super smooth and solid at high speeds, and the profiled tip and tail handle the pow and reduce swing weight. This means you can ride the directional Feelgood Snowboard from the trees to the terrain park. NOTE: You might get a different color than what is shown here. We can't control it. But we know you'll be stoked. *Available for US Shipment Only. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: The Burton Feelgood Snowboard—snappy, strong feel-good, not fuzzy, mushy feel-good.
This is a great all around snowboard. It really grips on the steep slopes. It carves nicely on the morning groomers. And it's quick and responsive on the bumps and in the trees. I was riding a five year old feelgood before purchasing the new feel good. This board seems a little stiffer that what I was used to but I had no problem with the changeover.
I got this snowboard last year (and it was much more expensive :(... ) the dealer that i got it from said it was a huge upgrade. from freestyle to all mountain. if you want to go fast and not lose control of your board THIS IS IT. i had problems with my last snowboard, if i hit a certain speed it'd shake. this board has no problem bombing down a mountain at all. I chose this over the mens burton custom. I don't regret it at all... other then the fact that i got it a little big and it can be hefty to lift and turn. so if you plan on doing freestyle go for a smaller size.
Notes:
* It turns beautifully
* Rides over bumps like they aren't there
* Floats down the mountain
* Loads of "pop" when you take of a jump
* Has won me a couple of races :)
I plan on keeping this board for another 2 years if they don't improve the model even more.
This board is excellent for all mountain riding, however when it comes to riding in the park, it is way too stiff to really grab rails. The directional shape also makes riding switch far more difficult. It's great in powder, though. The board is also pretty difficult to butter because of how stiff it is. If you're a girl that likes to play, I would recommend finding a softer board. =)
