    Default So many choices

    Hey guys, i've been snow boarding for a few years now, and recently got into long boarding this last spring. I've been riding on a 36'' sector nine sidewinder for the last few months and i really like it. It has great turning radius and with my new abec 7's it really hauls, but i'm really feelin that it's time for a new deck. I'm at a loss because i can't seem to find a board or company that really speaks to my needs. I do a lot of commuting with my board, but whenever i'm not in class i'm hitting up the parking decks and bombing hills. I love my board but it's too short for me (i'm 6'4 with pretty big feet) I've been looking into loaded but i hear mixed reviews, and it seems like everyone has a dervish. I really love to ride on steep hills so i need something stable, but being able to carve smoothly and turn sharply are pretty important when it comes to traffic and slow moving pedestrians. What decks can you suggest for someone of my size that will prove to be the best possible ride?

    Welcome to the fish!

    I would suggest a topmount in the 37-42" range. It will provide a larger foot platform and allow for a longer wheelbase.
    A 28-30" wheelbase will serve you well.
