Hello,

Stats:
5'8"
179 lbs
10.5 boots

My main joy of going out is on groomers, high speed, moderate deep carves maybe 1 day of fresh honest pow a year. I am learning to jump, and spin, but my ratio of freeride vs "park" is 85/15. What size board would you recommend for my situation?

I am set on the NS Heritage, so hopefully someone can post with similiar stats and board info.

Get a 162. Ride it, complain that it's too big, then sell it to me for well below MSRP. This is the best solution.

Real answer:

158 if you want to continue to ride as you currently do, 155 if you see yourself getting into more freestyle.

155 always rode a 158 and up. bought the 155 this year and just love it!

How much below retail do you want to pay for a 162? I think I should have goten a Primer F1 as the Heritage may be too soft for me. Probably not selling it for real but I think I would have to listen to offers anyway just in case. Mine has one day on it (will have two tomorrow) and is in mint condition.

I was actually going to bring up the idea of the OP checking out the premier as well. A good amount stiffer and the thing plows through variable terrain like nothing - good for maching groomers or if he wants to take it to the steeps. Better fit for the 85% of riding he is going to be doing. Just not nearly as playful as the Heritage.
