Rome Agent Rocker - Length? - Snowboarding Forum

jibmaestro · 11-03-2011, 12:47 AM

Hi everyone,
I'm embarassed to say that after 10 yrs of boarding I still don't know how to pick a board size. I've got a 158 Graft, a 160 Agent and a 165 Anthem. I love the agent but now I'm looking at getting the Agent Rocker. I like to think of myself of someone who likes to hang out in the park trying to spin and hit the odd rail but most of my riding is on groomers and the deep stuff when it can be found (but I find myself on the local hill in the ark with my 6 year old so I might as well try and get betterat park riding). I guess my question is at 180/185lbs can I pull off a 157 rome agent rocker? I don't want my big mountain riding to suffer because of a short board but I was thinking the rocker technology would allow you to ride a shorter board, please correct me if I'm wrong. Or should I stick with a 159 for the perfect "one board to replace the entire quiver" board?
Thanks for your help.

Either should do... I don't think you'll notice a 2cm difference. I'd look for a 2011 on sale and use that to make my decision.
