Burton Custom 158W or 162W? That is the question…..

Hey guys,

In need of some help!!! I am 6ft 3’ and weigh around 200 lbs, size 13 boot. I’ve been riding for about 7 or 8 years now and got my first season pass for next year, question is i’m looking at buying the Custom 158W and I am having second thoughts thinking should I get the 162W? I like to ride all mountain but having been hitting the park quite a bit recently and loving it. Can anyone give me some advice?

Definitely buy the 162W… without a shadow of a doubt.

I’m 160lbs and 5’9” and the 158 is the right size for me. The minimum you should be riding is the 162W.

If you want to ride a shorter board there are alternatives.

Thanks for the quick reply, yeah I think the 162W is the way to go as it should give that extra stability when riding all mountain. I’d rather go a bit big than too small and wash out all the time.
