How long do you guys typically like your skiboards to be?

The ones i have now are 90's, and ive ridden on 100's and 80's before. My favorites are 90's because any shorter and i dont feel like i have enough control when im going at higher speeds. Any longer and rails and cross tricks get too tricky.

Thoughts?

Length is more personal preference than anything else. I personally ride 99cm M7's because I do alot of steeps/backcountry/powder riding and like the max length to be there so I can float through it. I also have a really old pair of canon heritage boards that are shorter, but I still love riding them, just not quite as useful for my purposes.

i usually ride 99's - 110's but i think this year i'll be on 105's the most.

i like to go very fast and carve really low.

I'm 5'11'' and 200 lbs.. is it ridiculous for me to get 75 cm snowjams?

I'd like a shorter board if i'm getting non-release bindings.

thx guys

i'm 6'1, 200 and i started on 76cm boards and had a blast. it really depends on what type of riding you want to do.

see this related thread: does size matter (http://sbol.ws/vbulletin/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1226)
