Burton Hate Restricted Snowboard - 2010

If you are growing then go with the 152 if not then the 148 would be a better fit for you. Great soft flexing board. It is fun, the youngblood is a great board as well. It is reverse camber, super fun and flexible but super durable.

I would run the 52, If you wanted a park only board then the 148 would be the jam but since you like to ride around the whole mountain, then the 152 is your jam.

If RIDE bindings make a 3-D hole set up then it will work perfectly, if not I think you can make the disk work. I have don't it before you just have to get creative.

oh, sorry about that. 5'9", 145-150ish. havent weighed in a while.

What are your measurements? Weight and Height?

Justin is right, it can ride in powder but it is made to be used on handrails in the street. It is super soft and flexible. Usually powder boards have a stiffer tail that allows you to drive through you turns.

Is it an ideal powder board? No, but it will ride fine in pow. It's a real soft board but the v rocker provides amazing float in the pow (I used to have a burton hero and it was like a cadillac in the pow). My experience with the softer v rocker boards is that it is real nice in the park, nice in the pow, and a little sketchy on anything hard packed. If you're on nice groomed snow its all good, but anything icy you really have to work to dig in an edge. So long answer short the board will handle anything you throw at it. It won't be ideal for every condition, but if you can handle the terrain the board can. I wouldn't get this board unless you spend more than half you're riding time in the park though. If you ride a lot just around the mountain and dabble in the park here and there you'll probably want something a little stiffer.

Yes it will. This board is awesome and you will be stoked on the shape and flex for sure.

The 157. This board is soft, for your weight I would say the 157. This is a straight jib board. If you want to size down you could get the 155, but the 157 would be the "best" size.

FYI...Last year's Hero was softer (board feel 2) than the 2011 (board feel 3).

I think the Hero was a channel board this is a 3-D board. The Hate is softer than then Hero and has a more durable less expensive base. Both boards are great but the Hate looks so good.

Same board feel (2)...but the Hate doesn't rep the channel...so you will actually lose some flex (comparatively), and you can't rock est bindings. The Hate features frostbite edges, which are noticeable on hardpack. The hate also has jumper cables, so you should have more pop. Pretty similar boards...the Hate offers a few more features. The fact that this board doesn't have the channel is a big downfall for me.

Hey Brandon,

If you're talking about an edge, it sure does. There is only one board on Dogfunk with no edge and it's not this one.

Go as small as you can and you would probably be fine It's REALLY soft rated 2/10 on the burton scale. That's probably the equivalent to a women's 5/10. It would be different at first but a board is a board, every new board is different from the last one.... unless you buy the same board.

Ben is right on, Mens boards a made for men, do you hate all the graphics in the women's boards? They have a great selection. Check out the DeJA Vu http://www.dogfunk.com/burton-deja-vu-v-rocker-snowboard-womens it comes in regular camber and V-rocker as well as the Blender :http://www.dogfunk.com/burton-blender-snowboard-womens. The blender is a fun playful board made for the park. The DEJA vu is a bit of an upgrade from the Lux.

Well i think that you will have too adjust to riding on a male board because they do have a different flex patterns and they are generally wider and stiffer so although it shouldn't be too bad it will take some time for you to get used to riding a guys board but once you get used to it u will be fine and i would say that a 148 would be to big id go 146 because mens boards are generally made to handle more wight for the size then girls board but you could ride a 148 but it will be kind of stiff.... hoped that helped

burton cobrashark bro! thats the setup im rockin and its dope

if your saving money, go with the Union DLX or Union Flite. but if your looking for great bindings to complinent the board, go with the Union Forces, Burton Missions or the Rome 390's

Just a binding that will fit the 3- hole set up. Any Burton (non-EST) binding will fit perfectly.

You have a lot of options. All Burton's regular (non-EST) bindings will work, and many other companies also have discs that are compatible with the 3D mounting pattern (2 long slots on the disc is a good sign that it will work). I'd double-check with the binding manufacturer if you aren't sure.
