Hey Anonymous, I never got the chance to re-ride the Fix this year but it's on the top of my list for next year. It was mentioned above that I could have been riding the hero in fix clothing which I would believe.

On the fix front, I would say it sounds like the 155 is a lot softer than the 158, and if you are looking for a jib/ butter board then I would size down and go for the 155 which will be that for sure.

I'm lost with this board.. Some rave about it, others say its heavy..
You say it's stiff, hoon says it's a noodle??
Did we ever get a verdict?

I'm 6'2 200lbs -very strong and was looking for something to butter, goof around hit boxes etc,, I wanted a 158, now I read your review and this may not fit the bill??

ON paper, it looks perfect..
What's your FINAL verdict on this board?

haha well the last comment…that is an interesting one. I didn’t ride the 155 but I know the 158 I rode was a stiffer fix than what went out, would make sense that it was a hero in disguise.

Shay, the 158 you rode was actually a Hero in Fix clothing. It was done specifically to see if riders who tried both the 155 and 158 could tell the diff 🙂 Burton can be sneaky!

Thanks for the review. Definitely a nice write up. I’m looking to pick up the Fix in the 149 flavor. Already have the Hero in 155 so I’m hoping that the Fix will compliment my quiver nicely as a fun park board.

Ah sorry to hear that. The weekly email newsletter that goes out is much more easier on the eyes if the black/white isn’t good for your eyes.

A 158cm is the normal size for me determined by my riding style, weight and preference. I tend to stick to 158’s during demo’s as much as I can. Size 8 women’s on a 25.4 waist width, I’ve done it and it doesn’t bother me since I’m used to riding men’s boards.

Finally being a girl…I ride men’s boards and have for the past 14 years before women’s boards were even comparable. A board can’t tell if you are male or female, just because I’m female doesn’t mean I can’t ride a men’s board and don’t have the strength to flex a men’s board. I have the weight and have been riding long enough to ride men’s boards comfortably.
