how much does your son weigh? this will, more than anything determine what length his board needs to be along with ->

how tall?

what board and bindings is he using now?
Thanks. He weighs about 70-80 lbs and must be getting close to 5 feet tall. He is a skinny teenager.

I did get it tuned this year. However given the shape of the base, I don't feel it has a sharp edge. Perhaps the tuning shop did a crap job.

Regardless, what is the wisdom on board length and shape? He is going to be a long green or blue run carver, not a terrain park kid.

Thanks
