08 Ronix Setup or Liquid Force

[Chow]

What would you guys recommend?

I weigh 155 and size 10 shoe.

134 IBEX with size 10 Ronix Relik boots

137 Ronix One with size 10 One boot

136 Liquid Force Shane with what boot??

There is no way for me to demo any of this stuff and I am just going off of reviews. Are these sizes correct for me?

i ride a 132 shane and weigh 155 as well. a 136 may be a little big for ya. The Shanes are made wider so you get the board 1-2 cm shorter than what you're used to.

ronix are sick!

i say ibex would give ya the feel you want

[xShotime]

136 would be perfect for you actually. a 132 would be small for you. Pretty much a girls size board.

Hey KevoLFwake you from MN?

So I think I am going to get the 134 Ibex and Relik boots. Any comments on the boots?

[kevoLFwake]

a 136 shane will ride equivalent to a 137or 138 on any other board... because of it's width.

minn is where i reside yes.

the relik are sick, they give the flex without losin the hold. if you snowboard the closed toe will give ya that kind of feelin they say, i prefer the OT. all personal pref

I was one of the first snowboarders at Buck Hill in Burnsville MN. I have only wakeboarded a handful of times but got up the first time I tried and was jumping wake to wake the first day as well. The board that I have been using is a really old 137 with a single fin in the middle on the nose and the tail. When I buy stuff I like to buy the best, and that is why I want to go with a pro board instead of an intermediate board.

for sure man... i was so close to getting the ibex. but i decided on the shane. what lake u ride on man?

[Chow]

Mostly at Crystal Lake in Burnsville. Prior Lake is always so crowded...

I got the Ronix Ibex 134 with the Relik boots. Should be here this week. Cant Wait!!

chow nice setup! i also have the Ibex but with the One bindings. tell me how you find the Ibex when you get to try it.

I removed the fins and im having so much fun with the Ibex though its very loose so i'm still getting used to how it rides

[Chow]

I rode my friends 139 Ibex. It felt big. I got the 134. He had the fins on too. I am going to try without the fins from the start. He also had size 9 ronix cell boots. They fit pretty good, but my toes were at the edge, so I am hoping that the 10s that I got are not too big.

[kevoLFwake]

yeah dude thats gonna be tight..

[kt]

chow i also got the 134 ibex. pretty stable with fins on. but finless, its so easy to do surface tricks as the board easily turns sideways even by itself. i did try the size 10 boots but my toes were at the edge as well so i got the size 11 and it fits well.

[Chow]

awesome. I should be getting the setup tomorrow and hopefully get to ride all weekend!

[kt]

keep us updated on your board bro! good luck!

[Chow]

No board today. I guess it will be tomorrow....It better be!!

[bigcougar123]

dont get the ibex if ur first starting out that boards so Bubb Rubb squirrely ur not guna know wat hit u get the shane its way grippier than the ibex especially with the cupped fins n it has less swingweight because of the overall shortness

[kevoLFwake]

too late cougar, he ordered it. ibex is a sick board tho.
