Hello, I am 5 9', weight 150 and 11.5 size of boots (thirty two). What board do you recommend?
3 years snowboarding, looking for something to improve my park skills, yet be able to have fun all over the mountain.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the awnser. It really helped. I think I am getting a skate banana. I am not sure about getting it wide or not. I doubt between the 153 wide and the 154 normal...

Well you could always try out a v rocker/banana/reverse camber... whatever you want to call it. They are super fun to ride and can definitely help you progress, especially in the park. I prefer camber, but rode a rocker board last year and it was fun in the park, great in powder, and pretty easy to turn. You could also ride a rockered board for many years to come. Beginners can learn on them and experts can have fun sliding around on them, thats aways a great thing. I would personally recommend something like a Burton Joystick, Capita Horrorscope FK, Capita UltraFear FK, and the one and only Lib Tech Skate Banana. These are all boards I have ridden or talked to people who have ridden. There are many other boards, but these are the ones I'm comfortable recommending. For camber check out a Capita Stairmaster it is soft enough to turn, but not soft to the point that you can't turn on the mountain with it; I've got one and love it. Wow, long answer! Just one more thing, size. I also wear an 11.5. You will want a board with a waist width above 252mm or so. I ride anything 253mm to 260mm (usually mid 250s). Length could go anywhere from 150-155 for park, 154-158 for all mountain, and 158-164 for freeriding. For something that will be all around good in the park and on the mountain I'd go for a 154-156. Good luck and have fun.
