Hey Folks,
I've got an opportunity to pick up a Yes The Greats 156cm for a really good deal. Thing is, I'm 5'10", 185lbs all geared up. Think it'll be too small for me? I'm looking for a board that'll work as an all mountain board and on days with a few inches of new (4-6"). I've got a Capital Ultrafear 155 and a k2 Gyrator 162. The gyrator is obviously a pow stick. The Ultrafear comes out when there's no new or if I'm planning on just going through the park. I've taken the UF out on days where there's 4-6" of snow and it just wants to sink on me. Its a pretty fun board though.
I've been looking for something to fill the in between space though. I actually have a skate banana 159 at the end of last season, but only got to put in one day on it in June. I'd be getting rid of that board and picking up the Greats.
Will the 156 just be too small for what i'm looking for it to do? The main reason i'm interested in The Greats is because I want to try out the asym sidecut. Also in most of the reviews I've read its a good charging board and does really well cruising the whole mountain.
