Hi All,
Trying to buy a softboot board for my nephew who started riding on rentals last year and progressed pretty quickly. The thing is, he's 10 years old, very athletic, but SUPER small. He weighs 50 lbs and is 49.5" and wears a size 1 shoe.
That puts him in the 110cm range, maybe 120, according to most sizing charts. The things is, many of those boards are made for real little kids and often have pretty low quality. I found him a Burton Smalls Flying V 135 at a local swap that I picked up because I liked the construction and design (soft, non-cap, flat camber, nose and tail rocker), but I'm wondering if I should keep looking? It would be a few cm's over his head (which is about a head shorter than most kids his age.) Any thoughts?
