The Malolo is designed for men. What is the main reason women don't use it? My husband loves his. We are middle aged intermediate riders who love the powder and can handle double blacks when they are covered in the deep stuff. I am 5'2 and currently ride a 144. Could I ride a 149?

The malolo 149 is actually a unisex... It has a softer flex than the larger sizes. Many, many, many women ride this thing. If you normally ride a 144, you will have no problem adjusting to the 149 as a Powder board. Definitely my shred stick of choice when it snows!
