Good morning all. I'm looking for a little bit of advice and am hoping that someone out there has felt my pain at some point. I have been riding since 2006, usually only managing two weeks a season to be honest. I would call myself an intermediate as I can happily cruise down most runs.
The problem that I have now is that after 4 years without riding I have decided on a trip for next year but want to change it up a little bit. I would love to add a bit of buttering to my cruising but when trying it in the past the results have been less than spectacular. I currently ride a Burton Custom (2010)165W, which I admit is not ideal for me. I'm 6ft tall and 15 stone with size 10 feet.
What I really want is something that can cruise the groomers but allow me to work on my butter tricks without sacrificing too much stability. I was hoping that if you had the time you may be able to share your thoughts with me. Any advice on board and to be honest bindings(I have customs here as well...2007) would be very much appreciated. As you can see I have got great use out of my set up so I reckon Ive earned some new kit. I have looked at the YES Libre and YES Typo as boards that could do the job for me but would very much like the benefit of your thoughts...Thanks in advance.
