Find me a board

Avatar

So between now and the beginning of the season I may have a bit of spare cash lying around….

So if you see a bargain of a board post it here!

I really liked the Burton Flying V

And bizarrely (or maybe not…) Dylan’s Gnu ..... ummmmm shite can’t remember his board downer

I don’t think I was as big of a fan of Roxy Eminence board as I should have been.. but that was in Japan. I am prob never going to travel with this board so suitable for Aus conditions only.


Ohhh and I think I liked Wildmans board at the Shred if anyone knows what that was (i rode it for like one run)

(i believe a key between all of the boards above was the rocker profile and magnetraction)

Or tell me just what binding to get so i can just keep demoing at the shred.

Bindings just get something decent that fits your foot. Probably not Burton as you can get disks to fit the channel.

Board, as you said the magnatraction and reverse camber works well in Aussie conditions. Maybe check out the Yes boards with magnatraction or the GNU B-Nice / B-Pro which are the female versions of Dylans board. I think Blizz has one of them smile

Oh and I really wasn’t meaning for you guys to go out and do all the work but was thinking if you happen to come across a bargain of a board that suits me over the next couple of months post it here!

No need to find a board today!

I’d say if you have the same sized foot as me (size 8 (or even 9 will fit) in womens).. or some bindings.. you could try my board… buuuut it might be too small.. (you can try it anyways..) except I’m a short ass!! haha - mines a 145 roxy olliepop (2012)  it has magnetraction, and is camber/rocker/camber,


what size board are you after btw?, incase I see anything..

H0z i am 5’9 and size 10 womens boot!

your board is prob not great for me LOL

Umm and yeah have no idea what size I am LOL maybe 150’s range??

But short ass Dylan’s board was good. Although Wilding is tall and I like his board.

are you willing to share how much you weigh? cos that gives much more of an idea about size of board

Hehe Yeh,, I’m a tad over 5’5 LOL I’d say about a 153/154? Maybe some one who has more of an idea can answer better.. but I have a friend who’s 5’10 and about 68kgs ( she’s like a stick!) and she was on a 153..

I think a 150 or 151 would be good, oz.

Maybe contact rhythm in cooma.. Last year they were selling ex demo boards (I think I saw a few with bindings too) and they were fairly decent prices from memory..
