Help Me Choose
I'm relatively new to snowboarding. I feel its time for my own board.
I'm 6'2 175 lbs and size 13 shoe. I've gathered that my snowboard length should be 160+ I'm still undecided about how wide I should go. I've heard conflicting advice. These our boards I'm currently thinking of and any suggestions would be great. Avalanch Sol 163 Ride Catalyts 160 K2 Avalanche 164 K2 Nemesis 162 Ride Yukon 164 Wide |

Ride Yukon 164 Wide I think the conflicting advice can be broken down like this... in general you want to go with as narrow board as possible SO long as you don't get boot overhang. Narrower boards are quicker edge to edge and overall will feel a little crisper (it's harder to make a wide board torsionally rigid). However... trying to go with a narrow board with big feet is a bad idea. With size 13 feet, you pretty will need to go as wide as possible... something in the 27cm range. I've heard good things about the Ride Yukon. Other less well-known boards I would recommend at the Neversummer Legacy (www.neversummer.com) and the Donek Sasquatch (www.donek.com). If you do a search for wide boards on groups.google.com you will see other posting people have made to fill in the details for you. Good luck |
