The other major difficulty factor along with stiffness is the amount of camber. I don't know anything about this board, but a quick internet scan shows that there is rocker in the tips. It will at least be more forgiving than a pure camber board, but that goodride review says that it is still a little catchy. I'm sure your girlfriend would be able to ride it, but there are probably many other boards that would be more enjoyable for a daily driver.

 

The real question is if she's got the patience and the drive to deal with a board that could make snowboarding more difficult for her. Do you have something she can try that's similar? I have a buddy who has a really old Ride Control board, I'm going to let him try my Flow Quantum for a little bit before he does something crazy like buys a DOA or Custom.

 

I think that in a controlled situation, the more advanced snowboard is fine. But when youre on uneven terrain or unfamiliar trails, a board like that could punish you. Things like weight distribution and edge control become far more important on those boards.

I got pretty badly injured on a board like that in my first season. I thought i was ready for it and I was fine on groomers. But in powder and uneven terrain, I just didn't have the muscle memory to drive the board correctly and got into trouble.

Now that I know how to ride the thing, I'm fine with it in the trees etc, but it sucks getting hurt esp if it's a season ending injury.

No issues buying that board. Just get something more beginner friendly as well so she can grow into that one.

It's really frustrating to learn on a harder board as well.

 

Grab her a Rossignol Frenemy. My Gf rides one as her first ‚proper’ board (after a Nitro Lectra as her first board) and is working her way to carving now. Forgiving, medium flex, camrock and magne to comfortably skid on ice. She’s not a die hard like me and spends only a week or so on snow a season but gets comfortable again after a couple of laps on the first day of the season.
Basically a Rossi One LF for women so search the forum for feedback on that one, there’s plenty of it.
