I'm a beginner snowboarder and I've pretty much only been on it for 3 days. I want my own snowboard though and I'm not sure how big it should bei'm 5 ft 5.5 inches and weigh 105 lbs. by “beginner” i mean i can make it down without hurting myself (on the bunny slopes XD), going full speed, and i'm probably going to go up to the top of the mountain this winter :). but i kind of fail at carving.i just bought a 142 cm x games snowboard (
I have never tried those boards you get at Costco. They are not a name brand so I wouldn't put too much serious stock in them. I guess the good thing about Costco is that you can return it any time.As far as size, somewhere in the 140cm +/- 3 would be fine. Have you tried the [iurl=http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm]calculator[/iurl] yet?
OK, cool. Also make sure you get the right WIDTH for you. That is more important than length. As for that specific board, I couldn't find the width spec anywhere for it.
Yeah, that was the one I was thinking of. There doesnt seem to be much info available on that particular board, so I cannot really say much for it. Anyone else have on info for this Siren Oynx board?
