You really think of board length as the longer the board, the faster you will go but the harder it is to control jumps and spin. The average size board for your height/weigh, dom, is about a 159. Different manufacturers will have different measurements for your height/weight based on the weight and style of their boards. I've always loved Ride boards. I plan to get a Timeless this year since I'm finally out of the AL craphole and can do some good boarding here.

If I were you and you've never been before, I would rent for a while. It will give you a better understanding of the different manufacturers and their stylel of boards. The rental guys will be able to help you decide what will work best for you and that way you don't end up spending money on stuff you don't like.

hih man

true story.














*except for CO

 

Tahoe is awesome :happysad: I remember my sister flying off her sled into a ditch :happysad:

 

What's your shoe size? I might have some boots and bindings to sell for relatively cheap. And I can ask my brother if he wants to sell his old K2 Dart. Kind of a beginner board but if you're looking to just get by with an all mountain board just to avoid renting it might get you by. :happysad:

 

Will and Dave, where did you guys take your pics? I kind of miss boarding...

 

God I wanna go to Mammoth...but no money

 

Add Montana to your exceptions list as well as Utah.

If you haven't ridden anywhere else then I suggest you not make the call on what area owns who

 

Wyoming has some good riding too...Alaska, Whistler, etc. Tahoe isn't that great in terms of snow quality. There's a reason it's called Sierra Cement...it's wet and heavy.
