Hi dudes & dudettes,

I’ve more or less decided to get myself a K2 Raygun to progress on, since it seems to be a very good all-mountain board for a wide range or riders & levels.

My stats:
Height: 6’2” (187 cm)
Weight: 187 lbs. (85 kg) in my birthday suit, add 15-20 lbs. all geared up.
Boot: Nitro Team TLS size 11/290/44, no shrinkage tech
Current board: Burton Blunt 159W (my bad)
Level: Beginner, heading towards intermediate.

Riding style: Um…all mountain, I guess. So far it seems I prefer a little pow to hard piste, and going down winding slopes with treems are just so much more fun that straight, steep pistes. I feel quite uncomfortable riding fast - but I might blame (a cracked rib and) my current board just a little for that. If I’m to charge hard I want something a little more stable than a Blunt underneath my feet. Some interest in jumping and spinning but not very much in jib.

Question then is: 161, 160W or 164W? Not sure if I need a Wide…

Help much appreciated, thx
