hey frosty…i need help on buying snowboard but all the good companies are too expensive for my parents to buy for me…lol what company is good within the price range of 90-150 dollars……probably none….but im a intermediate and 5'6….150Ib and wear 9-9.5 boot..need suggestion
Hey Dude,Yeh, that is a small budget, but no fear. The House has a good selection of boards on clearance and some are under $150.Look for the Lamar Jimmy 155cm or 24/7 Wave (or ltd) 152cm. If you can talk the folks up a bit, the rossi boards are killer for the price.
thx for the reply…i really like the rossi..but how do i talk up to the people? wouldnt it be hard? and is the snowboard size calculator right because you recommend 155 but it said 148 or 150….im confused?
Hey, sorry but I use the calc and came up with 152 length (25.2 width) — but i am assuming the averages of style=freeride/freestyle and ability=intermediate. Yeh, if your style=freestyle or ability=beginner then it recommends a little shorter like 148 to 150. You could go with anything from 146 to 156 really, but closer to in between would be most accurate. More important than length is width. Dont get a board thats too wide (over 25.5) or narrow (under 24.1) . I have size 9.5 boots and i like a 24.9 width.So most boards of the shorter length (like 148) are actually too narrow for your boot size. For example the rossi Legion 148cm Snowboard is a 24.2 width which is borderline. The 152 is probably right on the money for you at width of 24.5.
