[Recommendation for youth new into carving board]

Thanks. At the same time I want to learn more about the equipment, lengths and specs so I can shop for used equipment as an option also. Any technical information to educate me at the forum is appreciated.

[Recommendation for youth new into carving board]

My daughter is an alpine ski racer and an advance freeride snowboarder. After winning a couple of regional high school races with a regular freeride board, she wants to get a carving board and may be pick up alpine snowboard racing. She is 14 years old, super petite at 4'10", 100 lb.  She would not grow much anymore.  Can anyone recommend brand and length for her.  Shall she start with a SL or GS board? All high school races are GS format, and I am not aware of any snowboard race clubs in Ontario, Canada.
