Arbor Formula 2011

Posted: 13 October 2011 07:15 PM

Hey I’m looking to buy the Arbor Formula… Last seasons model… I’m 5’9 160 lbs and a size 8.5 boot…. What size would be best for me….155 or 158?... I’m new to boarding… Starting to link turns and stuff…not interested in park yet… Just want to cruise the mountain and get comfortable turning and all that…. All the help would be greatly appreciated… And any other board recommendations would be great too… Thanks

I think you could go with a 158 if you want to keep the board for some seasons and want to be able to go a little faster on it as well.
The 155 would probably make turning a little easier in the beginning but as soon as you get used to turning and stuff, it will probably let you down a bit when going faster as it will start chattering and such.

In the end it’s your decision what’s more important to you!

Thanks Tobi…. Since I live on the east coast… Theres mostly groomers and ice… Would the Formula be OK? Or should I go with something like the GNU Carbon Credit since it had magnetraction? Cuz I’m stuck between those boards…. Thanks
