New Board Recommendations - Snowboarding Forum

esant · 03-03-2011, 09:13 AM

So I'm looking to get a new board either end of this season or beginning of next (I figured if I find one in my size this year and it's a deal, I'll get this years). I currently have an '06 Burton Feelgood. I'm looking at either the Never Summer Lotus, Never Summer Infinity, or Rome Blue. I don't do much park riding however I wouldn't rule out hitting a few things here and there. Typically the runs here are fairly icy, its rare there is any deep powder. What do you guys recommend out of those options? Any other boards I should be looking at? I already picked up some Rome Madisons to swap out my Burton Lexas (I despise these bindings). Also, I'm 5'3, 125 pounds, size 6.5 boot. Thanks!

The Infinity is softer than the others. How stiff do you want your board to be? The vario grip edges on the Never Summer boards would be great for those icy conditions...
