NS EVO as a 1st beginer/intermediate rider

Posted: 23 March 2011 03:20 PM

Hi everyone.

I am 5’10, 150lb, size 8,5 boots.
By now i have about 12-15 days riding.
Mostly it’s just groomed pists. Can go preaty fast (up to 50km/h mesured by gps) down confidently, want to try presses and butters as well as jumps.
In a couple of weeks i am going to Austria for a week, so looking forward to buy a board for this trip.
What do you think about NS EVO for this purpuses? It’s kind of a soft board as i read in this forum, so should be allright for the not very experienced rier like me. People wrote that it’s unstable at higher speeds and not very good for carving. But i am not sure if it’s gonna be a problem in my case because i don’t have much experience.
And another question about sizing. Is 153cm allright for me?
Sorry for my English, i am not a naitive speaker :-)

Hi there,

I have a NS revolver (bigger brother of the evo as I am 2m tall and weigh 100kgs). I rate this board big time and think it is more than stable at high speeds, holds a good edge, is awesome in the park, and it’s shape is suited to powder. Would highly recommend the evo on this basis for any rider. Whilst you are still novice you might suit something more flexible but would recommend this board for any type of rider…
