indeed but you said a 156 would be too short is he wanted to ride powder. You cant say this without knowing what weight he is. If he's only 10 stone then a 156 would be perfect for powder no matter what his height.
well from my experience i dont think it would be perfect for powder as im 11st and 6ft and struggled on a 159 cambered freestyle board in powder. yeah he could ride it but it'll be hard work. i put that to highlight my point about the different techs and finding something you like to ride. |

| To be fair i just didnt want to buy an all rounder board that would be great to start with but then wouldn't last 2 months, esp if I wanted to move into freestyle! |

fair enough but there is an element of the correct tool for the job,
which is why many of us have at least 2 boards, a short jibby board for domes and dryslope and a longer all mountain (or a longer freestyle board) for the mountains... oh and a 167 POW board for that one day when i'm in the right time and place to get the most fun out of it
i would recommend a 156 regular camber twin-tip freestyle board as a can do most things stick, stable enough to get all your turns and stuff as a noob but short enough to enjoy entry into the dark and seedy world of freestyle |
