Burton Malolo
Will this size snowboard be alright for me?
I'm a girl who is about 5'6 and a half and I'm guessing I'm around 120 pounds. The board I want is a burton malolo and its 154cm. I've read that its 2-4 cm short than regular sizing but I'm not sure..
So can anyone confirm that? or tell me if i'll be able to ride the board?
You are correct about the board being 2-4cm to short for you. The malolo is a pure freeride board that excels in carving and charging hard in powder and groomed runs. You never mentioned your age so I'm not sure if you are done growing but if you are I am going to suggest that you try to find a 152cm board for freeriding. If you think you are going to gain about anywhere from 10-20 lbs in the next few years then you will be fine with the 154cm.
If you decide you really want this board, the main difference you will feel with it is it will be a little harder to turn. You will have to push harder and put more pressure on your toes and heels as compared to a 152 cm but it will be a little bit stabler at higher speeds (not noticable since it is a high end freeride board and shouldn't chatter at high speeds anyways).
Whatever your decission is I hope you enjoy it!
Good luck
