I've skied for about 10 years and skiboarded a few times (I prefer skiboarding, but not everywhere will rent them). I've finally decided that I've had enough of renting and want to buy my own equipment. I am a competent skier, although I would never call myself an expert I can still make it down single black diamond slopes in one piece and have even tried a few double black diamonds with some success.
I spoke to someone in a ski shop today about boots and he told that I probably want a stiffer boot around the 100flex range. However, he only knew about skis, not skiboards, so I wanted to ask on here if there were any special considerations for skiboards. In particular, I've seen in some of the posts that you actually want a more flexible boot for skiboarding. Is this true?
The reason I ask is that I've found these boots on a skiboarding website, which look great and they have amazing reviews, but they have a flex rating of 60, which I'm worried would be too soft for me. http://www.skiboards.com/skiboard-bo...-201516-p-1218
Do you think these would be a good boot choice or am I better off going with something stiffer like http://www.evo.com/outlet/alpine-ski...-110-2014.aspx
For reference, I'm 5'7" tall 150lb man
Thanks in advance!
