cheers, yeh basically i'd just like to give the bindings a go and see the difference, so it's not worth buying a bigger board at this stage.. This is just a bit of a brainstorm, the board is pretty wide so i think that'd be ok.
As far as length goes i guess i'll have to wing it

. With the extra weight etc considered I can see that a 132 with bindings might equate to a 129 with pads. Can anyone provide feedback on this?
