  1. Sorry David, it wasn't very funny. Certainly not worthy of a new thread and it's in my gallery anyway.

     

    For what it's worth, I don't think they're particularly similar. I couldn't remember what the pepsi logo looked like till I checked it online after all this chatter. The photoshop (actually gimp) effort was mainly to see if I could figure out how to put a full-sized image into a thread, which I couldn't . I'll carry on trying with a different pic.

  2. I've just ordered a Lib Tec Skunk Ape C2 BTX wide board from Backcountry.com. It's 172cm, waist 26.8cm. I'm 6'4", boot size US 12.5.

     

    They do a 180cm but I think that would be cumbersome outside of powder. (I tried out a 180cm no-brand 2 seasons ago for a few days and obviously it was great on powder but unwieldy on groomed runs.)

     

    My current board is a Ride 165cm, waist 27cm. Good board but I always felt for such a wide board it should have been a bit longer. Imagine riding a tray. If you're 6'5", 165cm will seem like nothing. My advice is go a few centimeters longer than you think you need (you can always saw off a bit if it's too much). And if you want to be able to carve without toe-drag in size 14s, you will need a very wide board.
