eaglez Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hey, Looking for some kids carving tools. It is for my 10 yr old son to be eventually passed to my younger daughter who does everything her older brother does. I guess 135 or so on the board. If you have smaller it would work for my daughter now. So, dig through the basement or garage and get a few bucks for the gear your kids grew out of. Thanks D.

shewgill Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hey: I started my son on a 150 Burton Alp last year, he was 9 and about 4'7" tall. It was over his head, but he picked it up quite quickly. There is one on ebay right now. The race plates go down to a mondo 21 boot. http://cgi.ebay.com/Burton-Alp-50-Alpine-Carving-Snowboard_W0QQitemZ220171043935QQihZ012QQcategoryZ36297QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I don't know if you have local ski swaps, they work too. My 8 year old wants in on the carving scene, I found a Nidecker 140cm board for $35.00, never used. Anything below 150 is almost impossible to find, I looked for two years, the Nidecker was a fluke. Good luck, and keep passing on the rush!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglez Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hey Steve, I actually got a 135 (brand new) last year for my son with some jr nideckers. Definitely lucky! I am just looking for gear while people are figuring out theirs is too small at this time of the year. I am pondering that 150 on ebay. I have a 154 burton R7 but it really looks too big for my son at this point. I figured that shorter would be better for learning but maybe longer has its advantages too. Here's wishing for snow in Barrie NOW! Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglez Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 What do you think the width of that board is? Some say narrower is better. That thing looks really wide! Wonder if it would be easier or harder for kids to learn on? Thanks for the heads up Steve! D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
