Hey guys im in my 2nd year of snowboarding and getting pretty good and i wanna move up. im only 13 years old but... anyways im 5 foot 8, 125 pounds, and i have a boot size of 10. Obviously i will grow, and i want this board to last for a little while. That probally means that next year ill be like 6 feet tall or so and 130-135 pounds, with a boot size of 11 or 11.5. i want kinda a all mountain board. i do some free ride and some park so i need a good mix.

What brand of board should i get? What length? Links are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

Whats your last name.. I have a friend named Skylor it's not really popular name. Anyways get size 153~155 if you want it to last for a bit. At least next year. I'd get Neversummer SL-R, Gnu Carbon Credit BTX, Skate Banana, etc.

I would suggest a Skate Banana, they have a bit of a wider width then most normal boards so an 11.5 can fit on it. I would recommend the 151 for your weight, maybe the one below it.

I would suggest a 152 Capita Indoor Survival. It's fairly cheap and is one heck of a fun "do it all" board. I havn't personally ridden the Indoor Survival but my body swears by his, and I own a Capita Horrorscope and I know what the FK technology is all about.

The new bananas are almost $500 while the Indoor Survival is $400.... Your paying for the Lib Tech and Banana name imo.
