I learnt on a 165, as I think most beginners do and I picked it up pretty quick although I'm still a beginner really.

I'd guess with that board being a little shorter it'll be faster and you'll have a bit less balance.

165? I asume you're pretty tall or were lucky enough to learn on powder!?!

Stick with the old adage (is that a word or did I just make it up?) of it reaching somewhere between your adams apple and your bottom lip.

Nah, sadly I didnt learn on powder actually I had to learn on synthetic first of all.

I'm not that tall, a smidge over 6ft, but I am a little stocky to say the least.

Synthetic??? Like snow blown from guns or the fake stuff?

And as much as I love pow, I don't think I would personally wanna learn on it. Ya know?

I learned and still ride a 156 and I'm 5'8"

by **Real Pol** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 9:18 pm

I didn't know you were a short arse RJD!!

I'm 6' and ride a 161 for powder (it never comes out) and a 158 which is my flexible friend for all the rest.

by **RJD** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 11:59 pm

Hey, thats tall for my heigh!

by **Hang11** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 2:55 am

^^^he may not be tall but he's got a massive beer gut :wink:

I'm 6'3" and ride a 166 all round board and 164 powder board

by **The Fafenator** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 5:28 am

What do the numbers mean??

158??

What does that mean and is it good to learn on

by **RJD** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:14 am

Lower number = cooler.

Anything over 160 is seriously embarasing.

by **Real Pol** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 9:57 am

^^^ I agree!

(That must be a first!!)
