Hey guys,

I've been trying to find and buy the Burton Vapor 2009 snowboard off and on for a couple of years now but it's getting harder to come by since it's such an old board (around 7 years old now).

Also living in New Zealand so don't have access to local shops in the US or Europe that may have older boards. Tried looking on ebay and other sites but had no luck.

Or if anyone happens to be selling this particular board, I'd be interested!

just curious, why don't you people who look for vapors never post the friggin size they're looking for? you're like the 3rd person looking for one, and yet again, didn't list size. try asking @SnowDogWax

Oh didn't make it clear before but mainly inquiring on how to go about finding them so I can continue searching. But yes should have included size (probably around 150-160cm) for anyone possibly selling it. and seeing this post. I'm also not too worried about the size because I'm taller and slim so even if it was more to my size, may not be suitable for me. Thanks for the advice though jae, just tried asking them

What's wrong with using a snowboard that is 5-10cm shorter than I usually would ride?

Nothing, or everything, depending on what you want out of it. You're gonna go ride groomers or play in the park, you'll probably be fine. You're gonna go surf POW, might not be a great idea. You can ride a 130 if you want. It just won't be stable at speed.

Also, by what you said (I'm not sure if English is your second language), it sounds like you think sizing a snowboard has something to do with height. It doesn't. Snowboards don't know or care how tall you are.

Also, Vapor is not a middle-of-the-road, slackers-welcome kind of a board. Its pretty mean, stiff and not at all damp so not sizing it right is not a good bet.
