how tall are you? what type of riding do you like to do? will you be in a lot of powder or just groomed runs? do you want releasable or non releasable bindings?

im 5'9 and i like park best, whats better releasable or non releasable? or what would you reccomend. thanks oh and it will be groomed runs

[Greco]

well, since you're 5'9" you can ride any length skiboards with non release bindings. if you were under 5'6" you should go with shorter boards. OK so you should look at the 99cm Canon boards / 99.5cm Mix boards / 99cm Groove Brinton Gundersen Pros / or the new Mix 110cm Lynam pro's. these are all excellent boards, pretty much this is the best line up that has ever existed for skiboarding, ever.

i personally really like the m7's and the brinton's. i haven't ridden the mix's yet but their graphics and shapes/sizes are really great and i will be riding them the first chance i get. bottom line is of the boards i mentioned you can't go wrong, they are all really, really good and it's a tough choice. i'm sure others on the board will let you know what they think too. the only way to mess up this decision is if you went with narrow, foam core boards with plastic 8 hole bindings, which none of the boards i mentioned are.

let me know if you have any specific questions about anything.

later,

Greco
