Boards for tall/big riders
Hello, my height is 193cm and my weight is 90 Kg.
I have a 162cm Board (Hammer) and it seems a bit small for me (the board inserts doesn't allow me to separate my bindings as much as I would like). The problem is that all freestyle boards are as much 161/162 cm. If I want something larger all I get is freeride boards. Some one could tell me LONG Freestyle Snowboard models? (I have seen a NITRO one of 167 cm, not freestyle specific but quite good, but I would like to see other models) Thanks in advance! |

Santa Cruz has a new one coming out in a few weeks, the Park Wide Deathmask.
It's available in 164 and 168. Let me know if you're interested in getting one. Rick "Jorge Ram?rez" wrote in message om... Hello, my height is 193cm and my weight is 90 Kg.

Does it have to be a centred stance?
What kind of terrain do you want to ride? What part of the world? I have taken my 167 GNU Carbon Highbeam Wide into the pipe on a few occasions. It's kind of fun actually. Said it before and I'll say it again. www.mervin.com I too am a big guy. 6'1" and weigh alot more than you. |

Sorry, last one.
http://www.transworldsnowboarding.co...14308,,00.html These are last year's boards though. Alot of online shops and www.twsnow.com offer a setup selector where you put in your height, weight and terrain and it spits out some board suggestions. Give the shops some time to get their new stuff in and try again for 04-05 products. |
