Nooboarder

WOW!! I appreciate the discussion going on here, and I ABSOLUTELY recognize the need for a new setup. That being said, though, I have learned a lot on the Burton especially since the board I first learned on was this: I actually had some guys back in the 90s singing the theme to the love boat in the lift line when they saw it. It will adorn my wall when I finish the basement. Yes, I do get some lift passes for free (school alpine club) and I am hoping to squeeze 1 more year out of this puppy. I have ridden it hard but only have opportunity for ~10 times out per season (3 little kids at home), so I would like to get the most out of it this season, then pick up a newer board. Thanks to all for the stance angles etc, as my background is in ski racing and I never softbooted. Looking forward to tinkering around.

If I am in the wrong thread, sorry! Ok, so my only carve board is a burton Pj 6three goofy with burton bindings. My dilemma is that I have no idea if the bindings are even set up correctly so I haven't even bothered to mess with my stance, etc. Any help in the initial setup would be great... Thanks

Hey, I have the goofy Pj 6three and it is a load of fun to ride. A little soft for ~180 lbs who rides hard, so the 5six might be dodgy depending on your weight. The set-up is the old burton 3hole. good news is that it is predrilled. Happy hunting.

I am currently on my only carver ever, never tried softboots and probably never will. Eastern skier ~180lbs. The Burton pj163 is OLD and too soft for me. Any ideas what would be a good carver for me? Thanks
