Poster: A snowHead
|
In beginning of April I'll be in Austria, and it could be a good chance to renew myself with new snowboard. I try to understand which one is good for me, and I'm a bit confused. I'm doing mainly freeride, my shoe size is 10, and my weight 150 pd. my board at the moment is Nitro Misfit Wide, I feel with it very good on powder, on ice and on piste, I feel a bit less stable. I was last week in Chamonix and in one of the shop the recomend me to change the board to standard board instead of wide board, in this shop, I have seen very stiff board, K2 Peace Keeper, maybe this kind of board could be the best for me ? or maybe I have already the ultimate board for my need ?
Thanks

Yeah you don't need a wide board with size 10 feet. The width is what's helping in powder but its also making it hard for you to get good edge pressure on ice and hard pack. Also I'd say you don't really want a super stiff board. Mid flex will be fine speed wise and a lot more fun, forgiving and easier to control.
I'd say the Turbo Dream would be a lot more fun than the Peace Keeper.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

after I'm digging in the subject of the snowboard I have realized that there is some all mountain board that could fit to me, it should be quite stiff but not too stiff, the size 158-161 cm, still I don't know how to choose the Profile of the board, Hybrid, Camber, etc. also I have seen that there Regular, Mid, Wide so maybe wide is too wide, but the mid could be well ?
