Well after some demos and a lot of riding time my GF finally got dialed in on a board and set of bindings she liked.

She's going full Hyperlite. She is gonna run the Hyperlite Syn 134 and Hyperlite Noise bindings (small).

She was down to the final two of a Ronix Coy and Hyperlite Syn. And trying the Hyperlite Noise bindings vs. the Ronix Rise bindings. She liked the Syn because of it's maneuverability and responsiveness. It reacted to her movements much faster. The Coy was a bit more sluggish to turn for her. At first she liked the Coy because of the pop. It clearly had more right off the bat. But once she got comfortable on the Syn, she was getting more pop from it. So it's a good thing she rode them both for a while. Her initial board choice was the Coy, but once she got the feel of the board, she came back in the boat and said this one (the Syn) is for me.

She liked the Rise bindings from Ronix, but she said it made her feet cramp up. We also got the same complaint from another girl who rode the Rise bindings. Both loved the Noise bindings from Hyperlite though.

I have to say, I do like the look of the Syn, it's got simulated black snakeskin on the top, and just looks cool.

So the GF now is fully geared, gotta get her a proper fitting vest and she's ready. You couldn't strip the grin off her face when she was out getting air.

She liked the Syn over the Coy...good to know. Thanks for sharing and you must add some pics!!!

I was curious about the Coy over the Syn as I am looking for a new board.

Curious, how experienced is she at riding? I'm wondering if I took my wife to demo various stuff to see what she liked if she'd even be able to differentiate.
