Hi Growland,

THanks for posting on the forum. Just a couple of questions so I can determine what your needs are:

* Do you ride mostly park or do you want to ride the whole hill, with a bit of pow.
* Will this be the only board for all conditions and all terrain?
* What size feet have you got?
* Sorry, you’ve probably mentioned this, but what level are you at?
* Where do you do the majority of your riding?

Cheers

Rich

Hi, board will b mostly 4 indoors as we only get away once a year, i am a size 8. would consider myself at intermediate level. it would b my only board. am swaying towards the step child as would hate 2 be struggling when we r in the powder when we go away!

Yeah I’d go for the Stepchild if you want versatility. Although the Evil twin 151 would be ok indoors and in the park, I really think it’s too short for anything else. The 32 is also fairly soft so it’ll be fun on the jibs.
