help picking board and etc

[sxybst90]

hello!

i have posted something regarding this little bit ago,

i am a first timer just switching from the board to the alpine.

well i have gotten some recommendations on what kind of board to get and all that, but still really don't know what to get.

if there is any board out there that i should consider lemme know!

btw i am 220lbs and shoe size of 13US and about 6'1"

Thanks!:D

Your shoe size is a tough issue. Get a wider type board. I am having a ton of fun learning on my first board which is a Prior 4WD 174. I think they make a 177 which might be good for your weight.

yeah i am having some issues finding the right sized board for my class that is for sure.. especially the boots.

since i dont want to go brand spankin new everything for my firs time, but there is really nothing to buy on the classified section...lol

That Tanker 192 that just listed today could work great for your boot size! It looks like a giant narrow freeride board, but don't worry, it carves great. I have one too, basically, it rides like a supersized 4WD. Really good in pow, too! The only conditions where it's not too great are ice and tight trees.

yeah i just took a look at that and only thing it stopped me from getting it was it looked like a really long freeride like you said, but i guess that is not too big of an issue
