Slightly different new board?
I have a Nitro Suprateam 157, which I like very much. I'm thinking of
buying a slightly shorter board and am looking at the Signal OG 155. Like my Nitro, it sounds like a really nice all terrain board. I'm just after a touch more control and the reviews of the Signal sound like I won't lose out on the high speed stability with the length difference. How much difference will the 2 cm make in other ways though? Any thoughts welcome.. |

If you're after a touch more control and looking to switch boards to do it when you're already on a pretty short board, maybe you should put the money into lessons. Neil Maybe.. I stupidly forgot to mention though, I am only 170cm tall and 67 kilos, so the board isn't all that short for me. Does that change anything in your advice? Thanks - Tom. |

That's 5'7", 147 lbs - I don't think you're too small for that board, unless you spend a lot of time in the park and like to spin. Neil OK, noted. Thanks for the comments. Tom |

As far a 157 to a 155, I do not think your going find that much of a difference. You may try a little softer board at the same length to see how it rides. Later, Chris Hey Chris, many thanks. |
