Shred Different
By Jason Michnick

This is one of the funnest boards on the market in my opinion. With that said, it doesn't do everything well though. This board is epic in the powder and super fun to butter around the park in. However its not what I'd want to be on if you're riding icy steep conditions. Even though you have BTX, nothing holds an edge like a cambered board.
Sizing: I'm 6' and 185 lbs, Size 11 boot (low profile with footprint of a 10) and I recommend a 156 wide. You can get away with a nonwide but with the shorter effective edge you will get washout on aggresive turns that will be necessary sometimes.
