I'm brand new to this site, but it looks like a good community of people willing to help out. I've tooled around looking at the suggestions and recommendations, so I've got a fairly good idea of what I should go for. I'm 185cm, 86kg with rather narrow feet.
I've found a few places online in Japan, and they seem rather pricey. This will be my first set of skiboards, so I want to get a relatively cheap set that I can work on this winter. To be honest, it might just be cheaper to buy some from the US and have them shipped, I wonder.
I tried looking at rakuten, but the prices for bluemoris aren't any cheaper than on the maker's site. From the reading I've done here, wood cores seem to be the preferred type, but bluemoris have some sort of carbon nano-something core. Has anyone got any experience with these they'd like to share?
In addition, any ideas where I can get fitted for ski boots in the Tokyo/Yokohama area? My street shoe size is 29cm, but the largest ski boot on sale at every place I've checked is 28.5, if that. I can get boots shipped from the US for cheaper than they're going for here, but I don't want to shoot in the dark.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
