    Need to find a board for freestyling 11-year-old

    Hey, I'm trying to help out my sister, her kid is 11 and has been riding a few years (4 I think) and has gotten to be pretty decent so we're hooking him up with a better board this year (he's been riding the crap bottom-of-the-line cheap ones so far). He likes park above all else, but still rides the whole mountain. He's 85 lbs., can anyone recommend a good flexy board for him? I'm mostly looking at used boards on ebay so if you know of a good board from a year or three ago that would be cool too. thanks

    I don't know what size you're looking for, but I'd say get something like this

    Though I have no experience with kid's boards. Just trying to throw out a suggestion

    He's a kid.  How many different boards are there really for kids?

    I don't know, probably about 50?

    Anyway, thank you, Horse Repairman. I found one of those super-cheap from a store online selling last year's Operator Smalls and I think it's gonna work out perfect.
