We don't sell clew bindings, but it would perform ok if you are looking for a quick-entry system binding. We would say Burton's step-on is the top-performing binding in this space. Thanks for your comment
Thinking of picking one of these up for powder freeriding and carving groomers in JP next year. I'm about 62kg and a US 7 boot - what would be your recommendation between the 142 and 148 sizes? Thanks @melbournesnowboardcentre
Hi @jacintyre, thanks for the question. Both sizes work for your weight. The 142 would be more agile and easier to throw around in tight tree runs (which Japan has plenty of), and then the 148 would be more stable at higher speeds and float more easily in powder. I would also look at the Ride Superpig in a 148 or 151. The Superpig is the same shape as the Warpig, just with a lot more tech and a bit of camber, which is much better for carving and driving out of turns. I hope this has helped, and if there is anything else we can help with, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
@@melbournesnowboardcentre thanks for the reply! Yep super helpful. How substantial a difference in float do you think I’d find between the 142 and 148?
@@jacintyre There would be a bit of a difference as you would have more volume with the nose and tail being 10mm wider. But I just discussed with a few of the other guys who have ridden the Warpig, and we think because of your size US7 boot, the 142 would be the better option as the 148 waist width would be getting on the too-wide side for your foot.
@@jacintyre float would be significantly different but so would handling. At your weight and shoe size the smaller board will be sufficient to keep you floating. I would worry that the bigger boards would feel to wide and sluggish edge to edge.
We recommend the Ride C6 if you want to keep it in the ride family. They are designed for all-around performance, or I would look at the Union Force or Burton Cartel.
Hi @Bakitsunoda, we recommend the small size as the shorter, wider construction of the Warpig is meant to be sized down shorter than your regular all-mountain board. You could also ride the medium size if you want more stability at higher speeds. One of the guys at the shop who is around your height and weight said that the small was super fun. I hope this helps you out, and thanks for your comment.
@@Bakitsunoda So the Warpig is meant to be ridden 6-10cm smaller than your usual snowboard because of the shorter, wider construction and going by your weight, you could still ride L (154). Still, you're right on the edge of the weight range, and this could end up being too much board, and you won't get the full effect of riding a volume-shifted snowboard. Saying all that invariably go with what you'll feel most comfortable on. I hope this has helped, and please let us know what you get and how it rides.
I read this is an intermediate to advanced board, but then again I have been told by ‘snowboard experts’ that these are good boards for all levels? What’s your thoughts, thanks
Hey Badboy, the Warpig is a great board for riders of any ability level. The flat to rocker camber profile makes for a stable and predictable platform that is great for progression. The Warpig isn't great at going fast, however if you are looking for a fast pig then check out the Superpig. ruclips.net/video/FOOoWwzSINU/видео.html
Hi there, im 6’3 230lbs size 13 boots, what size do you recommend? 154 or 158?
Do you think clew bindings will pair well with this board?

@@melbournesnowboardcentre you think that the 154 is to big for me ? I usualy ride 162 cm
