Rome Flag 163 Or 168? - Snowboarding Forum

12-08-2007, 09:53 PM

im a preety big dude 6'1 and 240, but athletic,(football). I was wondering which sized rome flag i should get. the 168 seems a bit to big but the 163 might be to short. im planning on starting to hit the parks this year so i might go with the 163. If you want to make any other recommendations, i need a wide board, size 12 boot. Suggestions??

i would go with the 163. i'm about the same size and rock a 160 for park and a 165 for freeride stuff. you should be fine.

I'm 6'2" 240 size 13 and ride the 168. I never really go to the park anymore myself though. The 163 is probably better size wise but Snowolf is right about the flex of the board and it's attitude. Where do you ride? Are you east or west coast?

east coast

i think im gonna go with the 163 and try it out and exchange it for a 168 if it wasnt the right choice because backcountry lets you to exchange for free

ive been riding a 155 for 3 years and havnt had to many serious problems but its time for an upgrade
