Another board sizing question.... Forgive me.... :-)
Hello Everyone,
This is yet another board sizing question. I am 61 and weight 162 pounds. I presently ride a Rossignol 162cm Nomad Wide. I have been riding now for 3 years. Here in Ohio, conditions are usually hardpack or ice. (The Rossy screams on this stuff, speed wise) Occasionally I visit NY, which can have 12 or more powder. New board time. The Sims FSR900 looks to be a great deal. Nobody can seem to give me ideal rider weights for the board. 155cm seem to be readily available. Would 155cm be to small? Would a 165cm be to big? How about a 161cm? Help! Thanks for your replies&.. |

At your height/weight a 161 is about right. More importantly for riding ice
and hardpack I'd definately recomend NOT getting a wide board. Wide boards are slow and difficult to transition. A little tow overhang is ok asd long as you can get to 60 degrees without your toe dragging. For hardpack and ice I'd also recomend a more forward stance.
