Intermediate's Board
I've been boarding for 4 years and now I'm on an intermediate-advanced
level. I think it's time for a new board, because when I bought my last board I didn't look at any specs and I didn't know what I wanted so my board now doesn't have enough grip on ice, is too soft, too short and not wide enough (I'm 167 lbs 6'2'' and size 12) (75 kg 185cm 46). Now I know that I like to ride faster, do fast sharp turns on steeps and of course fresh powder. I don't go to snow parks, I don't do tricks or jumps. I will use stiff soft boots and Flow bindings. What board can you recommend me that is wide enough for my big feet and duck stance and that is not for a novice but that will help me to go to the next level. Thanks for any help (there are so many boards around) |

I'm the same weight and height with size 11 and ride with stiff boots and
Flow bindings on a Burton Custom 162. Very nice board. I believe the Burton Canyon is a wide version of the Custom if you need to go a bit wider. "Andrej" wrote in message ...

The canyon is now a cheaper board. "Andrej" wrote in message ... I've been boarding for 4 years and now I'm on an intermediate-advanced level.
