Skate Banana Sizing HELP - Snowboarding Forum

Boston_Hools67 · 02-21-2011, 12:26 PM

Hi I am kind of new to this forum, and I don't know if I am posting in the right section. I am going to buy a 2011 skate banana soon because they are on sale at my local shop. I 5'11 140 lb and rock 13's. I want to get the 153w which has a waist of 261mm. I don't really want to get the 156w because I will mostly be doing park. So which one do you think I should get and, will I be able to ride the 153w with no heel/toe drag. Thanks!
P.S.- I am also looking to get bindings. If you have any suggestions fire away!

Not to sure on the sizing but if ur doing strictly park 153 should be fine. Ur boots will fit well on it considering its a wide board. As for binding i would say something on the softer side such as Flux rk30s, union contacts, rome 390s, 390 boss, ride contrabands........

at 140lbs the 153w is a great size for a park board. width is fine too.
