calling all boarders - help please

Hi

As someone who has tried boarding once and didn't quite agree need some advice please.

I am looking to buy my 10 yr old son a board for xmas with bindings and boots and would like to know what sort of size I should be getting - I'd preferably like it to last more than one season if possible and also any recommendations on bindings to go on it.

He is a dink and about 135cm tall.

Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way.

What is a dink?

little lol sorry

re: calling all boarders - help please

As a general rule your board should reach to your chin when stood on the floor. However If I were you I would think about a Rossignol mini I'm sure your lad would have loads of fun on one of these. I've used one and I'm thirteen stone they're geat fun easy to ride, but no good in powder.

Cheers most of that went over my head lol is a mini like blades are to ski's little ones that any one can use ...... not sure ..... is that suitable for someone learning to board as he's only done it a couple of times

Yes a mini would be like blades. I think they are 900mm long, they are realy easy to ride.

Just checked they are 123cm, on ebay at £110. They used to be more reasonably priced.
