new board

Hi there,

I'm an intermediate/advanced rider and looking for a new board. I have
been riding a Burton Canyon 168 for the past 3 years. I might trade it
in, but I'm not sure yet. I weigh 82 kgs, bootsize 12. Can anybody
recommend me a board?

What don't you like about the Canyon? Would another Canyon suit you?
What type of riding do you like to do? Do you need more/less flex?
More/less width?

I ride everywhere exept p&p. I like the Canyon actually - especially
offpiste - but I would like to make my riding more agressive. So I
think I need less flex. I don't think I'll go for a board with less
width, considering the overhang I already have at my angles.

You're asking a group of Donek owners who are happy as clams which stiff,
aggressive board to buy that holds an edge great on and off piste? ;-)

Let's just say, look at www.donek.com for details. I'm a Donek Wide owner
myself. Great board, and based on what you're looking for, one that'd be
well suited to you too.

FWIW.
