I am looking at buying a board for bombing hills and raceing, any sugestions?

Question

I have found a nice longer wide Flow board, I need wide for my massive size 14's. I am about 6'3" and the board is a 169. It looks great, should I go with that or should I cut the board shorter? Or is Flow not the way to go. I love to just go down the hills and have fun maybe catch a little air but not a whole lot and I don't plan on doing many tricks.

Answer 1

The best racing boards on the market are made by Palmer, because of there new honeycomb systems that make them lighter than any other board on the market.. They have titanium edges for great control...Though some of their boards may put you back about 900 dollars, thats what i would suggest... If you dont' feel like spending 900 then they also make a couple honeycomb, wood, and carbon mix boards which will cost about 500 ish....

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Get a board made by a snowboard company, not a ski company trying to penetrate the market.  K2's suck and most are made in china.... look at nitro, lib tech, arbor, never summer, to name a few.

Answer 3

K2 makes some cool racing snowboards. Just Google Racing snowboard.
