Looking to upgrade to a new snowboard, any suggestions?

Question

i am 5'6" and 120lbs. currently been riding a lib tech 144 for a few years (hits petty low, base of my neck) i'm looking for a longer intermediate board for all around mountain/powder riding. i don't spend much time in the parks also. i've been looking at the burton feelgood, the rome blue, and the forum star. would 149/150 work for me? any other board suggestions would be much appreciated too. thanks!

Answer 1

Get a burton. Rome and forum are c**p. 149/150 sounds perfect for your size.

Answer 2

Some other good boards you should check out are

Ride Vista

Nidecker Divine

Option Paloma

Atomic Tika

Atomic Tuesday

K2 Luna

Sapient Solstice

Rome Vinyl

The boards you have mentioned are all good but the Blue and Feelgood are more advanced boards rather than intermediate level. Although ive heard the Feelgood isent that hard to ride for a top end board, so you might be ok with one of those. All the boards ive listed are intermediate level all mountain/ freeride boards which will suit you and your current level of riding, a 150 would be a good size for you for that type of board. Good luck with the riding.

Answer 3

For what you want id say the feelgood is your best bet. ITs the girl verison of the Burton custom. Thats what i ride and its great. Super versitile. Allmountain pow pow, park...  K2 has some awesome chick stuff, check out there website

Happy Shredding!!

Answer 4

Oo I would definitely get the feelgood. It kicks and i feel it's a great bored for slope style/ pulling of grinds.

Sorry i couldn't help much

Have a great day Mike

Answer 5

option snowboards are sickk

i just got the Vega 147 but im alittle shorter than you and there are other style boards too wiht more size options

its smooth and really feels good

good for what youre lookign for and pretty much an all mountain board

the vega is ideal for intermediate advanced its fast and incredibly smooth

im from the east coast so dealing with ice is big but the board helps me out a lot

you should def check out the site because the companys growing fast and the boards are sickk

but make sure that the baord you get is the one you really want and make sure its perfect  for you

just wanted to let you know of a relatively new company that is coming out with sick boards

good luck and i hope you really enjoy your new board, whichever choice you make!
