Hi,

I have done a week and a half on a board after swapping from ten years of skiing. I have used hire boards both times I have been and think I would benfit from having my own board and bindings after having hired some pretty ropey gear. I need something between a 157 and 159 to ride all mountain and want it to last me as long as possible. I am confused about the rocker and camber of boards, any help or advise would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ed

Have a look on http://www.goneboarding.co.uk/

Maybe do it search on the Atomic Hatchet. Highly regarded board that's amazing value and a lot of fun. Good for beginners but will challenge you for years to come (unlike dedicated beginners boards).
