Atomic boards rock big time from what I hear. I have never ridden Atomic boards only because they are all too wide. They all seem to be mid-wides to wides — it's a shame. IMO I would not exceed 24.7cm waist width if I were you. Stay below that for sure.I have not ridden the Ride Kink board, but it looks awesome. Again at 25.5 waist width it is too wide for him. With a 9 boot he should stay close to 24.8. I really respect Ride boards. They are totally bomb-proof.Have you tried the sizing calculator?
