As a avid skiboarder and promoter of it everywhere I go, I feel that the perfect skiboard, for a girl like me (average stats) does not exist.

this would be the board for me:
Length: 92-96
Width(tip/waist/tail): 14.0-14.5/10.0-11.0/14.0-14.5
Turning Radius: 490-560
Weight: 8-10lbs
Great flex
Tip height (tip/tail): 4.5-5.0/4.5-5.0
Graphics: think Roxy stuff, anything pinks with browns & purples, blues & greens; Hibiscus and other cool fun stuff.
Bottom cool Graphics a must but need to keep the lighter background or black!
then the basics of course;
Sintered
Sidewall
4 hole
wood core
metal bindings

all mountain board for me and my stats and riding styles and look.

Basically, this would be a first skiboard designed for the average girl skiboarder.

Now keep in mind, I am not a board maker or know all the technical stuff with ratios and weights etc for boards, but it certainly appears to not be any high performance skiboards with these specs. I have put in ranges for the spec for leway. Maybe these specs just would't work for boards therefore non made? Maybe the market doesn't want these specs and graphics? I dunno. I know what I want, I know what I can do and capable of doing, just need the right skiboards.

I know, I know you all are thinking that any board will be awsome, which is really true, but not really what 'm looking for.
Someone needs to step up and design a real high performace chick skiboard such as Revel. I think there is enough of us out there to fullfill that request? If I am way off here, no problem my bad. Skiboarding is far superior over skiing and snowboarding hands down! I promote it every time I go to the slopes, peole see us and always ask about our rides and I tell them all I can and to go online to SBOL and yes I suggest the other site too. But SBOL is truely the best right now.

softer flex would also be and idea.

i would probably recommend a bit more narrow, in the 13-12 tips and 9-10, so its quicker edge to edge.

Isn't the Allz 94 close to this 125-105-125 with 94 length and nice graphics sort of close to this already ????

ahh, I knew someone would throw Allz at me, but it just isn't quite right in several areas (radius & width). boring graphics too(to me). But it is a good board... I am totally not meaning to dis any of these really awsome boards!!!!!!!!! man, I am sorry if had to anyone who reads this.
Just wanting to go into the untapped market of a true girl/chick high performance skiboard.
Maybe one of these boards were designed for us????? anyone know which one??????

My wife used her Allz boards for the first time yesterday. She absolutely loves them. She was keeping up with and sometimes flying by me. That never happened with the boards she used to have. To quote her, "She now has a need for speed".

awsome, so glad she has the need for speed now! nothing else like skiboarding!
I know I am being picky, but you can be specific with these boards and what you wanna do or not do. If I have to wait a year b4 I get a new pair, then so be it... but hopefully not!
Have fun! My husband and I have a blast too on em! Been using them for 4 years now and no looking back! Just need to 'fine tune' my equipment with upgrades.
