Hi can anyone help..........please!
I am looking to buy a new snowboard. I am a intermediate boarder, able to ride comfortably down most blacks and enjoy going off piste. I am not brilliant in the park but want to improve.
I want a good all round board to progress on.
After seeking some advice from various shops there have been a few boards that have been recommended.
1. Burton feelgood
2. Rome Vinyl
3. Ride Havoc (mens but comes in small enough length)
Does anyone have any opinions on these or any others?
Would greatly appreciate some help. |

| There are lots of good women's boards out there, my recommendation would be to try and test some, if you can get to one of the snowdomes in this country then you could try a few different boards and see what suits you. |

"able to ride comfortably down most blacks"..."I am a intermediate boarder" !!
Hmm. an intermediant that can do most blacks, a rare thing!
Sounds to be like you need something along the lines of a option bella. a good allrounder with a good flex (but still stiff enough to carve like a beast) and great graphics too. nice in the park but not designed that way. Great in the pipe. What more can i say? Try it out b4 you buy though, as always!

have you thought about a sapient solstice???
it is an amazing board, very very fast freeride board. Holds well on ice piste as well as in thick pow.
I've been riding one the last few weeks and am well impressed |
