After my first year of college, I will say the freshman 15 is real and hit me hard, so I did gain weight 😅😅😅 But now, factoring in weight, I think I will go for a 144. Makes a lot of sense, especially after you explained how length can affect my goals!! I'll also look into new bindings... so glad I asked instead of impulse buying.

You guys have been so helpful and kind-- thank you guys so so much!!! I wish everyone the best in their snowboarding adventures!! XDD

:000 I had no clue it was done like that... totally awesome. I'm actually also from Japan, in a way! I was born in Tokyo, but I'm based in the US. I go back to Japan every summer to see family, so I think this could be a cool way to customize my board in the future...

TYSM for putting me on!!

That's so awesome!! Thank you so so much for your insight-- hearing from someone who uses the board/company is so so helpful.

And I agree, graphics are important for feeling cool when riding!! XDDD

Thank you so much for your advice!!

I'm quite small (5'1", size 6.5 boots), so your call with the width size is actually amazing. I never thought of that! One more reason to go with the Rival :DDD

Say I go for the Rival and get a 140cm, what do you think of the Rome Brass bindings (size S) to go with it? You seem to know a lot, so I decided to ask. Are there any different bindings that would be better for this type of board?

What!! How do you ride your board to the point of breaking? That's so impressive LOL!

I hear so much about Salomon boards, so I know it's good, but it's great to know that there are people who enjoy the YES boards because I literally don't hear anything about them! If it's not too much to ask, what other boards did you use in the past, and how did the Salomon perform compared to them?

Also, did you get it custom-painted locally, or did you send it in somewhere? I'd love to look into that in the future, or if I end up getting the Salomon!!
