I have been looking for a new setup and I want something that has a little more flex and a twin tip, multidirectional. I want an all-mountain board, but something that can hold it's own in the park too. I really like the Arbor boards, but I can't seem to find any in my size. I am 5' 100lbs and every time I find a board I like it seems that the smallest size is like 153. 

I have been leading towards the K2 VaVaVoom with some Burton bindings any suggestions?

Thanks

i had trouble finding a girl's board too, myself. i'm on the short side too so finding something small enough was trouble.

 

sounds like you're looking for something along the lines of a directional twin. i rode the VVV rocker and loved it, but like mosh said, it's much more of a park board, not so much all mountain. The arbor eden looks pretty sweet, my man rides an arbor element and loves it. but the eden's a directional, so it wouldn't be as easy to ride switch on. the burton feelgood would probably be suitable for what you're looking for; it's basically an all-mountain board that can still hold it in the park. burton's also got the troop and the blender that might work for you. option's got the bella which is also directional twin. rome's vinyl is also a possibility. of course, you could always go with true twins in a bit of a stiffer flex and they'll do you well all mountain. forum craft and ride rapture are all-mountain geared true twins.

 

you might also want to try looking at youth boards - they're built same as adult boards, but in smaller sizes, which is great for us mini-adults. i actually wound up getting a salomon fierce in a 140, and it's super fun. true twin, and it's handled everything i've thrown at it excellently.

just as a note, the troop has been listed a couple times in the last few days on www.brociety.com for a pretty good price...

 

and kendra may be right with the sizing... you may need to keep looking at juniors boards as well. 

 

 

as another tip, check out the snowboards section of the forums and search through there... a lot of the members are really knowledgeable in there and might be able to help you or may have a few good ideas already posted.  good luck.

pff who said anything about snowboarding to be around men??? i ride to get AWAY from the men. as evidenced at tremblant last weekend.... the boys all went one way (the candy-ass, EASY way i might add), and i said see ya at the bottom! and i beat them there every single time.

 

HAH.

 

in conclusion, boys smell.

There's plenty of womans' boards around. Just do some homework, & decide what kind of riding you really want to get into.

 

Riding with both girls & guys is always a good thing; sometimes is very chilled/laid-back, & other times, it's the girls who are pushing the guys, & vice versa...

 

 

In my own conclusion, Kendra...; Girls are mean, so throw sticks at them!!!

haha and i've had the same training as her... so get ready for round two!

 

PS Air NZ has a seat sale on right now... damn

Yeah, I know...I was looking at getting  tkt, & heading over, on a covert mission, in April, for both snowboarding & mtn biking!!

 

Lol, nice to see that thread jacking/digression is still alive & kicking on here.

 

Now back to our regular programming...

I agree with the Burton Blender. You can get an 08-09 for $259 from meltdown snow board shop in kitchener ( they will ship) I rode this board last year and fell in love with it. Now it is a true twin but you can always set your bindings back one to ride as directional.  But honestly you won't want to.

 

Super fast base, nice flex super light weight...this board FUCKS! I will put a personal guarentee on it that you'll love it too!

 

Look for next years lipstick! It's the shit !
