I am thinking about buying a CWB Marius. I am not anywhere near a pro shop to demo one, but from everthing I have heard, I would like to try one. I am 185lbs and 6'1. Should I be looking at the 140 or 134 because of the width. I am coming from a 141 liquid force subjekt. Can I use my transit bindings on it till I really decide if I like it or not?

134 is way too small. 140 at least

well you are going to like it, i dot think you will have a problem with that. i would get the 140. the 134 would be way to small for you. im 5 9 190 and i ride the 140cm. i love to board. yes you can use the transit bindings on it but if you ever get a chance to try out the hinge tech bindings, take it, you will like them a lot. have fun bro.

Tony, your such a CWB homer <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> Alex broke his board and jumped on a Marius for something to ride, Hated it, said it was the slowest board he ever rode.

come on Randy be nice, Larry's been riding one for 3 yrs and wont change.

Gordie, Larry is another CWB sponsered rider, I was not bashing the board, it just diden't ring my kids bell.

Daniel, <BR> <BR>I have a like new 07 140 I'll give you a deal on if you decide to buy one.

Randy, are you getting ready for snowboarding season?

maybe Alex needs to learn how to get on his edge, been riding the 4 FIN board for to long, haha. I ride at 87 1/2 feet out, contest or free ride. so if its slow i either cut like a mother or get some amazing pop. <BR> <BR>what up Gordie, hows that kid of yours doing?

Gordie, yeah, it's time to switch boards, Alex got an instructors job at the Mt. this year so I don't have to spring for the season pass <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Tony, ouch!! Wait till I show him what you wrote <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0> Alex went to the Oregon, USC game today, GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't like the Marius either. Definitely get a demo before you drop the cash.

Hey Randy Oregon should kill SC.

I'm 200LBS 6'0'' and ride a 140 marius with LF transit bindings; I like the board, but it is a little slow. but certainly soft in the landings.

I rode that board for 2.5 years, its very slow and loose as a goose. Thats how i like um though...

Walt, <BR>PM sent. <BR> <BR>Thanks everyone for the help and info. I think I am going to give it a go. There isn't a shop nearby that I can demo it though, so wish me luck.

From what I have experienced, the Marius, and the way it rides, seems to be liked by taller riders. Short stocky guys seem to like the Absolute ride better. I'm 5'7 &amp; 185, the Marius didnt do much for me. JMHO, you should be fine with it, so good luck.
