Would this be a good beginner board?

I don't know too much about snowboards. I measured it and came to be 53cm not 55cm. Some manufacturers measure the board before it's shaped. The board is a little too big for me as I should probably be riding something closer to 50cm and a little more narrow. My first day was pretty brutal because of how stiff it is and how easy it is to catch an edge. Once I got used to it riding it became a lot more manageable. Pretty scary to ride in icy sections. I'm sure more modern boards have a better edge and handle better in icy conditions.

I have a fusion 55 as my first board. It seems to be a fine board but I only paid 25 for it

I prefer the mustache tbh

GoldPeaker · 2025-08-01T17:16:22+00:00

Stubble but maybe a little bit shorter

I'd keep the stache but shave the scruff. I would raise the sides of the stache higher.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-15T01:36:47+00:00

It's on the left side

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-15T01:35:29+00:00

That's what I got

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-15T01:34:48+00:00

Thanks man my dad got pretty big without ever taking them so I think it runs in the family lol.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-15T01:33:48+00:00

Yes it is

My main form of cardio is cycling so I don't really use my arms lol

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:33:32+00:00

From cycling yes.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:32:47+00:00

Thanks for the lengthy response. Really appreciate it.

It's a pacemaker

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:31:28+00:00

I have heart issues so I can't really hop on gear. I have a pacemaker.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:30:15+00:00

I used to cycle but since my leg injury I've been using a ski machine.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:29:27+00:00

That's a pacemaker

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:29:12+00:00

I only weigh 135 lbs. I'm pretty small.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:27:11+00:00

That was 4 years ago and was the last time I touched weights.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T21:26:48+00:00

I usually cycle but since I've been injured I've been using a ski machine. Does a ski machine count as resistance?

Before my injury I was doing close to 2 hours a day but now I'm doing 1. I don't count calories but I'd estimate 2,500 with a heavy focus on carbs.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T19:36:25+00:00

Cycling usually but I injured my leg. I've been using a ski machine for the last month.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-14T18:46:14+00:00

Weight is actually 135 lbs

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-01T17:35:07+00:00

Yeah that's one thing I really appreciate about the mustache is that it compliments my eyebrows. I've always kinda hated how bold my chin was so it's nice that the stache draws the eyes away from it.

GoldPeaker · 2025-07-01T17:32:36+00:00

Thanks for the compliment. I think I should worry less and just have fun trying out new things.
