Lib Technologies 1986 Snow Mullet BTX Snowboard

Item #LBT0134 | 0 in Stock

I can't decide between the 165 or 172. I'm 6' 3"...

I can't decide between the 165 or 172. I'm 6' 3" and weigh 230 so that leans me towards the 172 but I live on the east coast so most of the free ride stuff I do is pretty tight and a shorter board would be appreciated. Does anyone have any advice?

Yeah bro, I am 6', 230 and I ride DC PBJ 160 for freestyle and all mountain. I also ride a 157 on park days. I'd stick to a 165 for the East Coast scene. I rode Wisp and Snowshoe out there and I had a 160 Lib-Tech Youth in Asia. It was a great board for those mountains. Hope this helps, board safe brother!
