Hello,

Need advice for Burton Custom Camber for choosing right size for me.

I am 5'9 (180cm) height
Weight 170, (78kg)
Foot 10.5US (44EU)

Burton size chart suggests 158 or 158w
Are these sizes correct for me?
Do i need wide size?

please help me to choose best size for me.

Head on over to the boot section of this forum and learn how to measure your feet. Likely your boots are far too large for your feet and that’s why you’re having trouble sizing a board.

I’d be aiming at the 156 at your weight. You would be fine on a 158 if you don’t do any freestyle stuff or plan to.

Hello drBlast, thank You for replay, glad to hear answer from expert.
So i need better regular size not wide?
Also, is it obvious difference when you snowboarding with 156 and 158?

actually I don't know yet my real riding style, because i just entered to intermediate level. But i will do some freestyle elements like ollies and buttering. Park is not my goal. I want to choose versatile size, later maybe i will concentrate to more specific style. But now i want to progress to stay stable on board with higher speed, sometimes go to pow snows, later progress with freestyle elements.

If it is any help, I am the same height as you, but a bit heavier, and I ride a 158 Custom X, which I love. You would find a 56 to be more playful, but a 58 to be more stable. All depends on what you are really looking for, but from the sounds of it, I would think a 58 would be a better fit.
