Normally, I ride a Never Summer Premier T5 168 for powder days & a Premier 161 for other days. I ride Lake Tahoe (Sugar Bowl, mostly) off trails/trees mostly. I'm 6'0, fluctuate between 190 & 200 lbs. Size 12 boot.

I just saw a Burton Fish and was surprised to see that it's a powder specific board that comes in only 2 sizes (156 & 160 cm). The Never Summer Summit board comes in 161, 167 & 172 sizes...a much longer selection for the same conditions. The main reason I was so excited by the Burton Fish was because it seemed that I could actually ride a short (better turning, since the Premier seems much more nimble to me) board made for powder conditions. I figured the technology finally came so far to allow a shorty board for bigger guys.

Is anyone familiar with the Burton Fish and how it compares/contrasts to the Summit? I figure I'd be a 160 on the Fish, and the guy at NS says I should ride a 172 on the Summit.

Thanks for any help!
