skategoat Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I introduced a long-time softbooter to the dark side a few weeks ago. Actually, it was a joint effort - he was the lone softbooter during the Osler SOS (Southern Ontario Session). Now he calls me 3-4 times a day asking about equipment. He found some boots but now needs bindings and a board. He's big - 6'4", 220lbs. mondo 30 boots. TD1s and a stiff, short radius, wide board would be perfect. I'm thinking 19-22cm waist and a 11 meter sidecut. Budget is limited due to his spending $500 plus on his Head boots. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 He's about the same size (roughly) and is good on his equipment. Check out his post here recently, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skategoat Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 trikerdad's stuff sounds nice but too expensive. Chris, I sent you email. I don't think those boards will work. I'm thinking Burton FP or Speed in the 169-175 range. Oxygen Proton would work too but must be over 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
