dafinga Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 First post here, I have been snowboarding for 20+ yrs on soft gear. Expert + rider. Now I want to get into carving. This year we will have a house at the base of Heavenly so I thought this would be a great year to learn how to dig some trenches. I love to carve on my soft gear but I thought it was time to step up to some hard boots and a carving board when the conditions are right. I am 6' 175lbs with a Mondo point size 28-29 foot depending on the boot. I live on the coastside so anything in the bay area is driving distance for me. I don't want to spend too much on my first board but I am all about performance. Any thoughts, recommendations would be much appreciated.

Get boots and bindings first... most carvers are quiver whores who have a spare board to lend out here and there until you figure out what you are looking for. Go post on tahoecarvers.com too... there are a few south shore folks who could give more specific advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To measure mondo point (MP) size by your self (the simple way I liked): Take a contractor's tape in CM (not the taylor "flimsy" tape). Heel all the way on the wall/base board. Measure from the wall/baseboard to the longest toe, take a straight line from the longest toe (make sure is perpendicular to the tape) and do it to the other foot and take the longest length. I have these available: Deeluxe SUZUKA MP29 new & used Deeluxe INDY MP28 used w/ New Deeluxe Thermo Liners Speed model(never molded) and BTS Medium springs (Blue) Let me know,thx. Shoot me to carvingchanel (at) yahoo (dot) ca Pixs ready Cheers Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
