• Answer:

  First, use a snowboard size calculator to get an idea of what size board you should be riding - this one will also give you some suggestions for boards that might work for you: http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm At 6'3", 160, size 13, freestyle/freeride, beginner, male the suggested size is about 160cm. There are "twinish" boards with 1/2" setback which a comprimise between true freestyle and an "All Mountain" board. I have heard that the Rome Agent and Rome Vinyl are excellent boards for this. I personally like Ride Snowboards - maybe check out the Ride Decade Wide, Ride Yukon, or the Ride Fleetwood (which is what I ride and I LOVE it!!): http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Ride-Decade-Wide-1962.asp http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Ride-Yukon-1956.asp http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/Ride-Fleetwood-1966.asp Good Luck
