new board help

Hey all,
i’m looking at picking up an new board for the up and coming season and for the states next jan.
ive been riding some cheap rossingol that i picked up in new zealand 3 years ago and its time to step it up.
im looking for something soft enough for park and butters and stuff but still able to ride the whole mountain.
basically i just want an all round board

ive been looking around and think i have narrowed it down to the captia indoor survival or the yes basic.

if anyone has had experience with these boards or has some other options to look at id appreciate any help ! theres so many options and im abit lost. thanks for any help

hi i have not used either of those board but there is lots of threads with similar questions around here and from following thos threads i think yes basic is most recommended altho it all depends on you stats etc, i am quiet sure someone will reply back to you very soon with better responds.

yer those are what lead me in the direction of these board to start with :D thanks for the reply

What boot size are you - and what size board were you thinking of?

I can’t speak for the Capita as I have not ridden one to date, but the YES BASIC fits ya checklist perfectly!!!!!

Oh, and welcometh to the World of Board, ryan!!!!! 

Chunky I was thinking of the 156? im 6 ft and weigh about 75kg with size 10 boots. does that sound about right?

Thanks mizu, its good to be here! i think im leaning towards the basic at the moment as ive heard nothing but good things. ill go to some shops and have a look on sunday

I’ve only seen it when it has been fully clothed (thank God), and trust me when I say it’s as bad as mine!!!!! 

so im settled on the YES basic but i have been looking online and cant seem to find any 155s anywhere. i’ve looked through all the shops on the list in the forum and have been searching google but no luck!

Does anyone know of any shops in the melbourne area that has them in stock?! sorry for all the questions!

The YES rep is on Boardworld, so with the help of the owner (rider26, or the “Pretty One” as we call him around here), they might be able to help with locatin one for ya!!!!!

  Ryan was right the first time! Mizu’s got the rig of a male model, compared to my current physique! (especially at the moment - I’ve got a LOT of work to do before I get back on a board )

Well that would be excellent! im going to have a look at ballystixs on sat, fingers crossed.

haha chucky don’t we all! good luck

just to clarify, don’t the Yes Basics come in camrock and standard models?  Presumably you are referring the camrock one to ryan?

yer sorry for any confusion! im after the camrock : )
