    What size should I get?

    Reply Quote
    I'm a fairly new rider.  I've been snowboarding three times in the past two years but I can't get enough.  I've always rented my equipment and now I think I'm ready to buy my own.  Unfortunately, I never took the time to look at the size of the boards I was renting.

    Weight: 220lbs
    Height: 5'11"
    Boot size: 12

    I was looking at the '09 Burton Custom ICS boards because they have pretty solid reviews and there are some good sales going on right now.

    After reading up on snowboard sizing, I determined I would need a 162 wide.  But the thing is, one website that had an awesome sale has a 162 and a 157 wide.  Should I get one of those two because of the crazy sale, or should I spend a lot more and just get a 162 wide?

    Thanks for any replies.

    i am sure 62 is fine but you might want to look at a larger size too. i think it comes in a 166 too

    Thanks for the replies.

    I'm in Wisconsin btw, but I plan on going to Colorado or Utah occasionally.

    Any other opinions?
