What size roam

jrss13 09-01-2006, 10:25 AM

I am looking into picking up an '06 Roam, and am not sure exactly which size. I currently ride an '05 Hyperlite premier 136 DNA. I think I've read you want to get around 5 longer than your typical board, which puts me right in between the 139 and 144. I am about 5'9" and weigh around 180.
Any thoughts?

144 the board feels shorter than it is and the wider stance you will enjoy

144 you can get way more flex out of.

A third for the 144.

Thanks for the input guys. I just won a brand new 2006 Roam on ebay for $139 shipped. I couldn't pass that deal up. I have an extra pair of '05 Hyperlite ERA's sitting around...so now they'll get mounted up and see some water

you will love the roam is my only board now and I can throw all of my tricks smoother because it is so light.
