Is this a good freestyle/all mountain snowboard set up?

I’m still growing a little, but I’m 5′ 9” and around 200-205lbs and have a size 12 boot.
Board: Burton Custom ICS 158 (regular, not wide)
Cartel EST binding

yeah

what size snowboard should i get i weigh 135lbs wear a size 11 boot am 5ft 6in tall freestyle and freeride…?

Freestyle I would look in the 149-153 region and for freeride look in the 157-160 range. If you end up just wanting an all-mountain oriented deck than look inbetween for the 154-156 range, As I posted on the other question you asked with a size 11 boot you’ll be fine on pretty much any regular board with around a mid 24 to 25 waist width, if you go lower than 24 than theirs a higher possibility for toe drag obviously .

Question about boots for snowboarding?

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:03:01 +0000

In regular shoes, I wear a size 6.5 I’ve never gone snowboarding before, so I thought I’d try to buy an affordable pair (and a board, too) from online. My question is: Do the sizes for snowboard boots coincide with the sizes for "regular" shoes? Also, any tips on finding a great deal for a snowboard and boots? Thanks for your time!

I think it depends a lot on the brand. I know that DC boots tend to run 1/2 size smaller, so you are better off to get 1/2 size larger than you would in regular shoes. If ordering on-line I would recommend you do the on-line chat with someone to ask them what they know regarding the sizing of the brand you intend to buy. That way you’ll know if you should size up or down.
