So after a lot of extensive reading and about a dozen times my mind has been made up, I am again back at square one with which board to buy.
as the title says I am 6'2 245lbs. a bigger guy so I've read go big or go stiff or both. I've also read the longer skiboards are for more advanced riders, therefore I'm a little hesitant to go straight into the Sherpas.
I have snowboarded for well over a decade, and love it, but hate restrapping after every lift, and peddle pushing has got to be one of the worst things on this planet. All that being said the new Burton step in bindings could alleviate a lot of that frustration.
My alternative.... SKIBOARDING. it just looks fun.
I've never skied before, and will almost always be carving on groomers. I am looking for the "one quiver" board if you will, but have been scared off of many choices due to my size. I guess camber helps carve, and rockered tips help initiate turns. so I guess the rock/cam/rock would be ideal, but what do I know? I'm a noob afterall.
