Size Rec for a Jib Board
I have been snowboarding for over twenty years. I spend a lot of time in the park. I’m decent enough. One thing is I haven’t bought my own board in like 10 years. I have keep kinda inheriting boards that either my brother or friends stopped using.
The boards I’ve ridden enough to call my own in the past 10 years or so are Dinosaurs Will Die 152, GNU Riders Choice 157, Academy Propaganda 155.
Right now, I am looking at getting just a skate style jib board as soft as possible within reason. I have never really had the opportunity to ride a real noodle more than a couple of runs, so I want to give it. A shot. As my now, my top choice is the Bataleon Disaster.
The question is size. I am 6’ 175lbs, and wear a size 12-13 boot. So I definitely going with a wide. But my question for you all is how much does the wide increase stability? I’ve never really ridden one and I am torn between the 153w and 156w. I spend most of my time in and around the park but do like to dive off into the trees and keep up with my friends at some higher speeds.
Any input would be great.
