what type of riding do you like to do and what is your experience skiboarding or skiing and inline skating?

here is an actual pic of the tanshos:

The 75's aren't out yet.

Thats the same height as me, I have 90cm SnowJams (bought before Tanshos were available) and Revel8 BWP 98. I prefer the size of the BWPs at the moment, but like G said it depends what style of riding you prefer.

If you're still growing BWPs might serve you better in the long run, giving more stability at speed without losing much in maneouvrability and would serve you well in the park. I love them!

Have tried Phil's Tanshos - they are great if you want a more skate-like ride and the graphics are even more impressive in the flesh ;)

I imagine 75cm boards might become limiting as you grow (from an all mountain point of view), but would be fun for moguls and skate-like riding. And on a side note - the Bantams have my fav graphics in the new range, very cute.

cute haha. The samurais are tough. Riding 75s is alot of fun. They are just like skating and are really easy to move, but landing jumps is alot harder and the less surface area makes jibbing harder as well.

Thanks guys on the input so far, I guess from what Im hearing its between the Tanshos and the BWP's.

Greco, I ahve only been skiboarding for 1 season, on soloman 98's I think.

I don't do massive jumps, but I do jumps, not fully comfortable with them or rails yet.

Is there a picture of the 2007 BWP's G?
