How important is the board you’re riding?

In having a discussion on the Dancehaul in the main snowboarding sub, I became curious on how important the board is in relation to conditions? I ride the Dancehaul and have found it doesn’t do well on harder snow, but I always figured it was a skill issue. A lot of people seemed to have the same issue with the board, so I was curious how much of a difference the board actually makes?
