Hello,
48 kg is very light! For sure your board is too stiff, except if you got a board which is small and intended for teenagers or girls.
Most brands give no choice of flex (or sometimes only 2), so many riders have not the proper flex for them (and don't realize where the problem is).
Along to Swoard concept, we would recommend 161S for you. See this table. It is well made, confirmed by our team and many riders over years.
Another option is a "custom" board, but this is a bit random experience, as some people are disappointed (too soft tip, or too stiff board, etc.), with the need to order then another board with better adjustment.
I guess you want something which fits you directly and not to order a new board every year.

Re: Völkl Monocarver
Thanks for the fast answer.
Normal i Ride a 156 Freestyle Board with Softboots but i sometimes tryed the f2 Silberpfeil from my onkle
With Hardboots and i realy Lines it but this Board is still to large for me (169)
I also have Seen the Boards from swoard but they are too expensive,....
So i have found the f2 Carbon Edition 156 2014, do You think this Board is fitting me?

No, too strong.
You need something made for your weight - and that is not made of carbon.
