Finally getting a new board after several years (six to be exact) and need help on making a proper choice. I'm 6'4 276lbs and wear 32s size 14. My retired board was a Nidecker Axis 163.


Conflicted by the following boards:

GNU Billy Goat 165
Lamar Hunter, Cranium, and Viper 163 wide
or should I go with the Rossignol Accelerator 165 wide.

I am a park and bombing-run rider who loves going fast and taking nice wide carves.

I'm not as much into the GNU, but my Nidecker was the same width and I never had issues with toe-drag. Usually I measure at the inserts since I don't ride at the waist. My stance angles are 17/ -15

I'm checking out the lib tech boards and I'm liking what I see, but I'm weighing out prices because 4-5 hundred is a little steep for me. That 180cm goes to my eye brows and would make a great power board.

You can get this year's Libs for 30-35% off right now... Thinking about getting the Jamie Lynn as I type.

I just upgraded my 15 year-old Burton Floater 168 to a Lib Tech SkunkApe 180.

I'm 6'8" 285 lbs with a size 17 boot. The Skunk Ape is perfect for us big dudes. I LOVE it! 180 might be a bit long for your riding style though...
In the same boat, I am looking to upgrade from a 15yo Ride Timeless... We both need/needed new boards!!!
