There was another thread on this same topic, and rather than hijacking that one, I wanted to post a simiar question. Now that college, family, career, and other life moments have all settled into place, I'm ready to get back into carving. My last board that I owned was a Burton PJ7 (and would love to find another one). Not only is it painful to hear them labeled as "vintage", but they seem to be hard to find. Any other suggestions since I'm not at all familar with the names of the big name companies out there now? I too am looking for something preferrably good used condition. PJ6, or 7 would be nice, unless there are recommendations for more modern boards.
Taken from the other recent thread:
"Providing more information about you may help to get a few more replies.
Maybe provide answers to questions like:
-will this be a one board quiver or the first of a bunch of boards you want to get?
-do you consider yourself intermediate/advanced, etc.?
-are the runs you ride most often narrow or wide?
-will you be on piste carving most of the time?
-will you be all terrain riding most of the time?
-what size are your boots?
-what are your preferred stance angles?
-are you over or under 190 pounds?
-etc.
Hope this helps
Rob"
