    Powderslave replied to the topic First splitboard advice in the forum Splitboards 2 years ago

    I am looking for some advice for my first splitboard setup. I am 5’8″ and 185 pounds (about 215 with all gear). Depending on the manufacturer, my boots are between a 10.5 and 11.5 (current boots are 10.5). I live in New England, so the majority of my riding will be in tight trees.
