   Bonjour! Avez-vous eu des retours d’essaies de la arbor Veda? Ma fille 13 ans, ride depuis 7 ans ride un feelgood small 140cm. J’avais regarder pour le arbor veda 145 cm ou la day trader 145 de burton. Rideuse all mountain agressive, aime sous-bois, bosses, virages soutenue. Centre de glisse multi conditions et souvent de la poudreuse. Elle fait 5pieds2 et 120 lbs.

   Merci!

     Hi Ian

     I translated your message into English and reproduced it below for my benefit and others reading this. Hopefully the translation isn’t too far off (just translated it in google).

     Hello! Have you had any feedback from Arbor Veda? My 13 year old daughter, has been riding a feelgood small 140cm for 7 years. I had looked for the arbor veda 145 cm or the day trader 145 from burton. Aggressive all mountain rider, likes glades, bumps, sharp turns. Multi-condition sliding center and often powder snow. She is 5ft2 and 120 lbs.

     Thank you!

     Size-wise I think the 145 in the Day Trader and the Veda would work in 145. A little longer than what I would consider her “all-mountain” size. But given that these are freeride boards, and you can size freeride boards longer, I think that size is spot on, assuming that your daughter is at an advanced level, which it sounds like she is. Neither of them are super stiff, but they will feel a little stiffer than her current board and being longer they will take a bit of an adjustment, but I think they would work fine.

     Hope this helps – and hope you can translate this OK.

       Mais je suis curieux de lire votre ou vos suggestions de planches all mountain et la grandeur que vous considériez en ayant un aspect plus intéressant que le feelgood small qu’elle à déjà. pour la poudreuse. Merci!

         Hi Ian

         But I’m curious to read your all mountain board suggestion (s) and how big you considered looking more interesting than the feelgood small it already has. for powder snow. Thank you!

         I’m not sure how well that one translated, but I will try to answer.

         I would say that your daughters all-mountain length is around 143cm right now, assuming an advanced level. For a freeride board she can go a little longer. For the Feelgood Small at 140cm I imagine that would have been too big for her when she started, if you say she’s been riding it for 7 years. If she was 6 and riding a 140cm, then that’s very big for a 6 year old! But for the last couple of years it would have been a very good size, IMO. Since she’s used to riding a board so much bigger for her size in her earlier years, I think she will be very comfortable on something like a 145, particularly with a freeride board.

         For an all-mountain board that’s decent in powder, I would check out:

         Size-wise for those ones, something around 143cm would be a good bet. But given that your daughter has been used to a longer board and also assuming she might still have some growing to do, I think you’d be fine looking at something up to 146.

           Parfait merci! Le 140cm était les 2 derniers hivers, elles a eu des grandeurs de 100cm au 140cm auparavant.

           Perfect thank you! The 140cm was the last 2 winters, they had sizes from 100cm to 140cm before.

           Ah that makes more sense! Of course. And you’re very welcome
