What makes a board suitable for FREERIDE?

Definitely from the fact that it CARVING well even in deep snow.
What does it take?
Nose with more buoyancy than average. It can be wider than average, longer than average. But it is definitely advantageous if it also bends softly, or softer than the rest of the sheet. Then it bends in deep snow from the pressure between the snow and the RIDER and an even longer rising, more surf-like nose is formed. It does not "drill" into the deep snow, but floats on top of it "FLOAT".
How else can nasal pressure be reduced? Well, so that we stand directionally on the page. In this case, a greater buoyancy force is created in front of our torso than behind it.
In this way, we get under the snow less.
It also helps if the tail itself has less buoyancy (shorter tail).
What hardness do you recommend? For boys 5-8. For girls 3-6.
My favorite is the 6. I can recommend a shoe with a hardness similar to that of a board.
It is important that a good Freeride board can get a nasty "scythe" from below at any time, so it must have an above-average sole quality, even the edge.

Have we exhausted all possibilities to have a good FREERIDE board?
By no means.
It is advantageous if the snowboard has a ROCKER in the nose and rear. And in the middle between our legs, it is advantageous if CAMBERES.
And it is beneficial if our board is a TAPERED snowboard.
And we also want to turn in tight places, it is advantageous if the radius is PROGRESSIVE.
