Park Board Sizing - Snowboarding Forum

01-04-2010, 04:37 AM

Buying my first board soon and I've narrowed it down to the Burton Fix and Burton Dominant.

I am an intermediate/advanced rider from the east coast, looking to get into park. 5'4" 130lbs.

The Fix's smallest size is 149cm. Is that too big for me?
I like its features, but I'm concerned about the size.
Would this "normal" size board just end up a little stiffer, yet slightly more stable at higher speeds?

The Dominant's smallest size is 146, which I'm sure will fit me + a downsize.

Opinions?

149 would be good just a little big. perfect size for you i would say is a 147

go with the dominant 146 if you really want a burton, should work good.
