'07 166 Malolo -200 bucks.

I've ridden it 3 times. It's as new as a board that can be ridden 3 times can be.

I am willing to ship.

Originally posted by Jaspaul Definately interested if shipping costs keep it all under $250. From past experience I think USPS global express may be the best bet as brokerage fees for FedEx and UPS start getting into the $50 range and you don't really find out until the package arrives. If it is FedEx or UPS you prefer I can talk to the shipping/receiving guy here at work in the morning and see if I can use the company account number. Payment can be either personal cheque or paypal - visa and mastercard are Options if you can do that through Sierra. Damn, I can't beleive I'm up to two boards my first year riding - and the year isn't even over yet! I think I'm sick...

i LOVE this year's malolo graphics. and would love a 166, but i have no cash.

If I were him (Jaspaul), I would definitely not go with a 158.  The 162 would probably be fine, but I'm sure the 166 would work perfectly well for you too.  I actually have this years 154 and am about to sell it so that I can get a 158 next season and I'm 5'3" and 140.  But, I also have ankle issues that are helping me to want a larger board.  Just because it's recommended to size down doesn't mean that you can't ride a bigger one.  It's all about preference and ability.  I say go for it!

I don't have much experience with crack, but if it's this fun I might have to give it a shot

Originally posted by kimchijajonshim Just a word of warning... you're supposed to size down on Malolo's.  Unless you're doing big mountain riding, in which case you'd probably want the extra stability.  But I expect if you got a Malolo you'd want more around 158-160. Although at the price, it's hard to beat.

I bought the Darkstar in a 160 knowing I'd probably get a more freeride oriented board in the not too distant future, but normally I think I'd ride about a 165 for an all mountain setup - that means sizing up a bit for a pow board and then dropping a couple cm's doesn't put me too far from the 166, and like you said for the price...

Plus the Burton site gives the 162 a weight range of 150-200lbs, and the 166 a range of 170-210lbs so my 190-200lbs seems to fall in there well.

I don't have much experience so preference is hard to quantify, but the ability level seems to keep going up day by day... I've got about 30 days under my belt this year and I figure about 20-30 more depending on how the rest of the season goes so hopefully I can tame this board soon

I was initially looking to keep it Canadian so was thinking of a 162 Option Northshore, but the Malolo seems to be the king in this type of board so it's hard not to at least consider it. Plus at $200 I could turn around and sell it for not much of a loss if I don't like it.

I realise you guys are finally getting some good snow and spending all your time up on the mountains and not on the computer, but I gotta ask for an update

We're getting dumped on up here too, and this board would really be helpful

how is this not sold yet?

I don't wanna be too demanding, but I am getting a bit anxious
