Need Board Size/Model Advice
Posted on 19:42 by Immigration

I am an intermediate to expert boarder. Since starting boarding I have had:
- a 158cm libtech (not sure which model but late 90s)
- a 161cm "endeavour" snowboard, initial series 2002
I do not ride in the park - but plan to learn some half pipe maybe once i get a helmet. I would call myself a freerider and like to make nice tight turns - almost a bit of a "wake board" style to my boarding. Long sharp turns.
I am looking at the Rossiginol Angus One Wide 159cm, 2014/2015
Speaking of which - I am 5'7, and 175lbs, but have always enjoyed my 161cm. Some would say the 161 was too big, but I never thought so. Is this new style board better to get much smaller than 159cm? I'm out of touch with new gear.
a) Is this board going to super difficult to ride? Will the 'Roller Edges" take away from nice freeriding?
I am going to telluride soon before the end of the season and want to have fun. I will take my old board too - but any clue if this is going to take a super long time to get used to? The reviews online are pretty good but some people say they hated it at first. Other say it take more energy to balance type thing.
Any thoughts are appreciated. THANKS
