New kid in town


Ten year old on a mountain. Future of the sport if he follows in Roland's footsteps.
Any comments on what would be a nice board for a kid? The one he is using is a monster.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

At ten years old, I would think one of the MBS Atoms. Expect even soaking wet, he's not going to be stressing the trucks for a bit yet.

Biggest issue is going to be stance width. Worst comes to worse, get what cash allows and custom drill for the bindings, so his legs are constantly splayed.

ATB,
