In reply to Amba. Hi Amba! So the old way of holding a board up to your chin is not the right way to find a board size. It's decided more on weight, riding style and experience. Height plays little into board size. Since you aren't riding parks, weigh 120lbs and are more off-piste, I would definitely go for atleast the 146cm. The 141 is way too small for your weight.

Hi there,

I really love the Roxy Silhouette 2011 board (peacock design) & wondered if you can help advise what size because some people say 141 others say 146.
I’m just under 5’3 120lbs & US size 7 boot.
I held a 141 up to me & it comes to the middle of my mouth (I can kiss the top!). The 146 comes to the bridge of my nose.
I will be riding on piste (no parks at all) & am intermediate/beginner, like speed but not tooooo fast, mainly just a leisurely rider & happy with that as I’m not a daredevil!
My instructor says this is a good board for me but I’m just confused on size.
Ps I know it’s an old board but I have located some for sale. Thanks muchly!

Emma, great question on waxing! I think it’s a good choice to wax the board every couple days of riding. You could definitely go with greener waxes and just pick them per your riding weather conditions. Cold wax on cold days, warm wax for slushy warm conditions and all mountain for a mix. I generally stick with all mountain wax for my personal boards.

hi shay,
i’m fairly new to snowboarding and in need of some help. i just bought the roxy ally, with tnt-base. i’m wondering, what i should do with waxing. how often should i wax it and with what kind of a wax. i’d like to be environment friendly. are “green” waxes any good?

roxy’s web site (or mervin’s, gnu’s or lib tech’s) didn’t offer any help…

thanks in advance,
emma.
