RideGuy Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I bought my son a Burton Chopper. He's the same specs as your kid 1. I just followed the manufacturers size chart (based on weight) and got him a 115cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 You should be good just going with the manufacturer's recomended size by weight and height. At those sizes these are young kids we're talking about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yes they are kids 8,10 and 13 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Unless they are freaks either by physical proportions or ability, manufacturer recomenations should be fine. Probably 115, 125, and 135. I wouldn't even worry about them growing out of them because with your boys all lined up like that, those boards will get plenty of use before they've all grown out of them!

BobD Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Watch for the stiffness of the kids boards. To me, most seem too stiff for their length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Watch for the stiffness of the kids boards. To me, most seem too stiff for their length. +1 Most kids boards I flexed wouldn't be able to be flexed by KarverKai. He ended up with a Lamar Dragon, 110cm, Flow B1 XS and Burton Moto boots. KK runs about 42lbs without gear on. Good luck and flex boards if you can. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Softbooters do have their boots overhang, is there a rule of thumb or an easy trick to make sure that overhanging is not dangerous ? I mean without trying the setup on the snow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
