These are specifications-led junior comparisons, not hands-on test winners. The girls’ and boys’ guides share suitable unisex choices: fit, ability and terrain decide the recommendation. Shopfest has not personally tested this equipment.

Use the model’s rider-weight range and your actual boot footprint to choose length and width. Board prices exclude boots and bindings; flex ratings are not standardized across brands.

US prices; offers and available lengths can change. Bindings are included only where stated.
