Tanshos or BWP's? I've read just about every post about the two, and it seems like I could go with either, let me give a little background.

I've never skiboarded and I've only snowboarded once last year, I fell on my ass a lot, and ate snow about 65 times, I used to be a hardcore rollerblader and a damn good (if I don't say so myself) skateboarded, and hell I even mountain boarded when I first came to Canada, but for some reason I could never stop tasting the snow when I went last year, so my gf came up with the idea of trying Skiboarding, and to be honest I had no idea what she was talking about, so I looked it up and it seems like the perfect sport for me.

However I want to make sure I get the ride board, money isn't an option really, I just want to make sure it feels like, and it's the right size, so back to the first thing I said, Tanshos or BWP's?

Thanks in advance :-)


Edit: Forgot to mention that I'll be riding in a lot of powder :-)

The size difference is minumal, I guarantee you will find the BWPs more satisfying.

I am 6 ft and 170 lbs. I only had the bwps for the first 6 weeks that I was riding last season. . Well not " only" but thats what i had . They are sick boards and I had them givin to me buy our lord and savior Mr. greco. but I had never been on anything longer Than 98cm befor the emps. Evereything I do in buggard mouse is on emps. Even the cliffs.I thnk that at your hieght you could do whatever you want on Benbaclots boards.
