Arbor Blacklist 2012 or 2013? - Snowboarding Forum

OzSnow · 04-23-2012, 06:06 PM

Title says it all?

Save the $$$$ with the 2012 or go the 2013?

Many differences???

ive read some reviews on the 2013 and it seems just small tweaks and graphics

Thx

From what I've heard it's just new graphics for 2013 and nothing more. If you can find a 2012, I'd go with that.

2013 Westmark and Blacklist will MSRP for $400 vice $419 this season but will have the Fusion base (extruded) versus this season's Rocket Base (Wax Infused Sintered Base). I'd go 2012 for sure if you can find one in your size. You're getting a better board for less money.

Yup, you'll lose the sintered base. Don't plan on going fast? Either.

cheers boizzzz

found one online for $300

got the choice of 157 or 160

which one

height is 6'2-6'3
boot size 12
weight 82kgs

(probs going 157)

157 for playing a little more, 160 for charging a little more. Can't go wrong either way though.

CheeseForSteeze · 04-24-2012, 01:53 PM

57 for sure.

Yeah I have a 154 blacklist for my park/freestyle mtn board and love it I weigh about what you do but with smaller feet. You will love arbors grip tech it is amazing on ice and hard pack.
