difficult to choose a new board.... so help needed!
Hi there fellowaddicts......
On our last at christmas, to Tignes, France, i kind of broke my option signature So now i am busy searching for a new one to buy... I am definitely in for a new freerideboard. A board to have plenty of fun in the deep **** and is also good performing on the piste. My signature was a really good board! Maybe a little on the stiff side , i had a 164 maybe just a bit too long. I am 82 kg/180 180cm/5.90 Now i am kind of dazzled which board to choose..... I have heard good news about the burton Malolo....but how does it ride on the piste and is it durable? Option is a favourite but a signature again? Or just a bit less stiff newer design board like for instance the Option northshore or pintail legacy? And the "old" Vinson sounds nice too........ Again i want to enjoy the powder but, the board gotta have good performance on the piste too, i like a board which floats well, picks up speeds fast, is stable and has good maneuverability to make fast turns in trees and narrow chutes. So can anybody help me out here? Or has other suggestions. Grtz, Jim |

Go to groups.google.com and do a search on "Big mountain" and the "Option Northshore" to find a bunch of posts that discuss boards you might be interested in. To be more realistic in your needs, you should probably prioritize what capabilities are most important to you (floatation, tight turns, stability, etc). |
