op does state going abroad, short board are great indoors, but they really reduce your enjoyment outdoors...unless ur a park monkey.

You don't need to ride for many years b4 you want a separate board for each, but as the op is only after one board for now, I'd advise against the short as you can option...although it does seem a peculiarly English trend.

Dont know about that.

But would defiantly take you over grill. ha


Lots of people on this site most of their time riding domes. It's part of the territory when you're a UK boarder.

Im not sure about your first point, I weight 14 stone and ride a 55, I do love the park but it treats me alright in the pow. I agree that the trend is to go shorter tho, especially now negative and reverse camber is popular. I have no idea whats happening in the UK but I have seen it happening more and more in the US. Personally I think its mostly to do with people old and young wanting to try more freestyle, not just in the park either.

Not really, if you ask for advice then it's up to you to diseminate that advice. Often it's not right or wrong, just advice from a different point of view, and hopefully everyone giving advice is also putting their reasons forward. Then up to the op to decide not just which advice he wants to follow, but which situation is closest to his/her own.
