I'm planning on getting into snowboarding this year and I might buy my stuff online. I started snowboarding last year and went prob 4 times on rental boards, so I can pretty much keep myself up on intermediate hills. I did the sizing guide and it says my board size is 158 and board waste width is 152-153 (not sure if I'm better a 10.5 or 11 boot size). My main question is if the only two options for boards are 157 and 159, should I go shorter or longer board? I plan on doing all mountain and mainly keep to the hills. Also for bindings, since my feet is around 10.5 – 11, would I go with medium or large bindings? Also, if anyone has tried or own these boards I'd really appreciate the input as I'm really considering them :). 1) Nitro Magnum gunslinger 2) Nitro Team and the Rossignol Premier (If it matters, they're all the 2009 model). If anyone h
How tall are you? 157 and 159 isn't much of a difference. You should go by the weight recommendations on the snowboard you decide to get. Ccheck with the manufacturer to see what binding sizing is likenfor them, but you probably need a large.
I'm 5'10 – 5'11 and weigh 155 pounds. What do you mean by binding size, are different boards only capable of having certain bindings?
I am talking about binding sizing. You can look at this sizing chart for ride bindings as an example http://www.evogear.com/info/helpcenter/192.aspx . That tells you what size binding you need for a specific foot size. For example, Ride's shaped/response line in size Large should work with boot sizes from 8-12.Every manufacturer is different though
I decided to choose the nitro team art attack 159 and rome arsenal bindings. Before I click purchase i'd like to know if anyone has used the rome arsenals? and just making sure… there's only 2 sizes and i chose L/XL which is from 9-14, would that work on my non wide board?
