Burton Custom 163,162W or 165W
Posted: 26 December 2012 04:54 PM
Im currently looking to buy the burton custom and trying to choose from three of the larger models, the 163, 162W and 165W.
I’m 6’4, 205 pounds and around size 12 in boots .
In terms of riding preferences i would say 30% park 40% pist and 40% offpiste (whenever possible). I also enjoy a bit of jibbing on the piste.
i’m tempted to go with the 163 because i belive it will be the best of the boards in park and on the piste.
Yet, heel and toe drag is a worry as well as being on the max of the suggested weight of the board which is 205 pounds.
All input much appreciated!

Thx for your input. Are you speaking from experience or is this an assumption?

Im 1,78 have 75 kg and already tested a 2009 162 custom wide board. Its a stiff board and had a lot of trouble turning but for your weight and height it should be fine.
