![]() I'm 6' and the wrong side of 16st and base my board length on chin - eyes and have had no problem in the past (159 park boards up to 165W freeride boards). That's about 13st in old money isn't it? Unless you are phenomenally tall and skinny or short and fat then between chin and eyes is going to be about right. If you find anything that catches your eye im sure you could always post up details here to get some feedback. Sometimes buyers put on very old boards that very retro binding hole arrangements that modern bindings will not fit with. Also just enquire as to the binding hole arrangement. Make sure any metal edging is in one piece and not missing anywhere.Īlso be aware to NOT to buy a BURTON EST ( slot system) board unless you plan to get EST bindings. Obviously the general condition of the board is important, general scratches to the base or top sheet arnt usually a major problem unless they go down to the wood core. Over on the Snowboard Uk forum there are plenty of beginners that have started out with these boards. Generally go for a mid flex board, anything too stiff wont be very forgiving although it will be responsive.Īlso mid flex bindings as well, you may find a brand on ebay called Raven. Then sort out the length board you need according to your weight and not your height as many people incorrectly think.
