Tall driver looking fo a new board!

Posted: 04 April 2011 10:25 AM

Hey guys! i am from germany and new to this forum to get some help.
My “data”

Size: 6"5
Weight: 210-220(dunno where this comes from,seems like im having very heavy bones lol )
Feet: Size 14 sneakers (31,2cm)
Age: 27 (not growing anymore )
Budget: 400€

I am riding for about 5 years now (duckstance), one week a year (although i want to change this, really) and gonna buy me my first board. I got the basics down and want to focus on learning some street tricks like presses and butters an would like to improve in the park( focus on small to medium kickers)
. Still want to be able to do some decent cruising (im not the ultra fast carver =)). now i need a board to support this. ive done some research and narrowed it down quite a bit i hope.

size: ~160+
waist: ~27cm
type: all moutain freestyle rocker
flex: 3-5
shape:twin

correct me if i am terribly wrong.

i also searched for a few snowboards, but i think not all would suit:
Bataleon Goliath, burton hero wide, ns revolver (although i think its too expensive), burton joystick wide, ride manic wide, k2 raygun wide.

now are there any board you could recommend or other boards u would suggest? the board selecta gave me so much results with park,freeride,twin,wide,medium cost selection..gonna look at them too, puh

edit: after looking at the board selecta the nitro addict w and the gnu riders choice would be cool but i dunno if 159 for the addict is too short and the RC is not available here in europe (at least at the shops i looked into)
