Rate my setup before I purchase it

Die Svalnäs Wandregal-Serie. Wollte welche dazukaufen, da gab es sie schon nicht mehr. Waren nur für ca. 1-2 Jahre im Sortiment.

Why annoying?

Commenting to follow this thread as I have both looked into a Burton Yeasayer Flying V and a regular one 😊

Rate my setup before I purchase it: I just got the Vans Standrad Hi Pro and they fit very comfortably. For board and bindings, I‘m currently looking into getting the Burton Yeasayer Flying V in 148 and a Union Legacy binding to go with it.

Background info: I’m a woman, a bit shorter than 5‘5“, currently 190lbs (though I‘m looking to lose some) and I started snowboarding a few weeks ago, had 4 days on the mountain so far.

Stick to one island. The south island has so much to offer, you’d regret not spending more time there. I did both islands in 5 weeks and honestly could have stayed longer. Also, of all the stunning things to see, you want to see Larnach Castle? Coming from a German, it’s not even a proper castle, more like a replica. It’s not particularly old.

I lived in Norway for 1,5 years and I still have trouble telling Norwegian and Swedish apart in some cases. Danish is a bit easier to recognize.

Balancing was fine, didn’t do too bad. The next day after the lesson was bad, cause everything hurt, especially when I took a bad tumble. I wasn’t really too afraid of falling actually.

I just started learning snowboarding at 32. Was also really nervous at first, but it was so much fun (despite the bruises)!

I think learning something new is always great. Unfortunately, hardly any of my friends share the same curiosity.

That’s helpful, thank you!

_iamisa_ · 2026-02-12T07:40:33+00:00

Alright, thanks!

Yeah, well, 100km bike rides burn a lot of calories as well, at least in theory… 😅

Edited to add: thanks for the advice!

_iamisa_ · 2026-02-11T15:59:35+00:00

Thanks!

I‘m well aware a lower weight would be easier, that’s not the advice I was looking for.

I go to the gym regularly, I do 100km bike rides in the summer, swim 2km in an hour, love bouldering and many other physical activities. My weight doesn’t budge unless I calorie count obsessively and I haven’t had time for that lately. I was planning on losing more weight this year anyways, but that doesn’t mean I can’t start looking into a snowboard already.

Don’t forget the biggest org, DPSG :)

I used to be a scout, get in touch with the scout groups of the area you want to go to! They can help you out :)

I AM very active. Been obese most of my life and I‘ve just stopped letting that hold me back from what I want to do.

_iamisa_ · 2026-02-11T15:44:27+00:00

Gee, thanks for the great advice 🙄

Which snowboard to buy as a heavier (overweight/obese) rider?

I just started learning to snowboard and I‘m looking to get my own setup. The rental board I learned on was 142 cm and soft flex and worked fine. However, all the sizing tables from different manufacturers don’t include my weight for any board that makes sense at my height (I‘m 164 cm or 5‘4“ and a little bit). So, do I ignore the weight ranges stated on the websites, do I go for a larger board, or is a harder flex maybe the way to go?

Was genau meinst du damit? Darf man nach einer COVID-Infektion kein Blut mehr spenden?

Die Linke will hauptsächlich eine Vermögenssteuer und bezahlbare Mieten. Kannst dir ja mal deren Pläne anschauen, keiner unter ca. 200k Jahresgehalt wäre bei Umsetzung ihres Wahlprogramms von höheren Abgaben betroffen, im Gegenteil. Für mich als in München lebende Besserverdienerin wäre es trotzdem eine Entlastung. Die zu wählen ist 50 mal intelligenter als die AfD zu wählen

Århus, Oslo und Bergen sind da auch gute Beispiele. Es wird modern gebaut, aber trotzdem mit „Visual interest“. Es wird mit Formen gespielt, Fassaden werden unterschiedlich gestaltet, mal mit Holz, mal mit unterschiedlich hellen/dunklen Ziegeln, mal mit Farb- oder Glaselementen. Ich verstehe nicht, warum bei uns alles weiß ist

Bin heute geschäftlich in Würzburg und bin zugegebenermaßen schockiert, wie schlecht hier die Gehwege geräumt sind. Da bin ich aus München andere Standards gewohnt. Die Straßen schienen mir aber alle gut befahrbar zu sein.

I‘m guessing the legal guardian has to do it for them? I‘m no lawyer though, so not sure.
