Sad to say, this board is a huge disappointment, I am 6,1 and 88 kg and it just feels too short. You don,t seem to be able to get the rear binding far enough back to create enough lift. All the euro models i have seen are very poorly made and the tip clips just keep popping open even when boarding in semi hard snow, the two halves do not fit neatly increasing the pressure on both the bindings and the clips. After two tours, 6 hours of climbing and and 2 hours of decent the top sheet separated from the base and it started delaminating along the edges. Its too soft at the tip and stalls rather than riding above or punching through crud. Very tempted to go back to my 6 year old Voile. Burton have replaced it ( 2 days ago) but the new board is as badly made. We will see...
