It´s PRESS-O-LICIOUS and torsionally playful with the superlightBiax core wrap under the hood. My buddy Cameron rides for Rome´s AmArmy and is your height and weight- he is a good example of a street/park fella who ripped deep powder on the 153 Mod in Niseko last winter. ill´n. The Agent Rocker 153 is a solid choice as well. Pressy, poppy and all that. It is a little bit more torsionally stiff- and Agent´s have bigger "impact edges" for rails and boxes which is nice ...It´s a toss up between the two. I have never strapped in to the Reverb Rocker so -no opinion on that one. Hope that helps. Brian Hej Andrew,

I want a board that can spend most of it's life in the park and still survive in pow and a little all mountain.. I was wondering if this board is soft enough to press with.. And what size.. I was thinking 153, I'm a little over 175 cm and weigh about 73 kilos. Thanks Hey I was thinking between this and the Rome agent rocker or reverb rocker..

Ha! If you are going to ride a lot of park rails, jibs and spinnin´go with a 156. For your weight and height and all-mountain rippin´go with a 159. Thanks for reading the review and yia man, I would lean more towards the 159 if I was you. Bring on the snow!!!!!! Brian Whoa OZ man… how do you “ski” on a Burton snowboard? Ha!

I have a question. What is the board thats right for me by the following data. Height 181 cm, weight 80 kg. So far I skied on burton custom 162, I want to buy the new mod but not decide about the length of the board is right for me. (156 or 159) Thanks in advance for your help advice oz great review.

I think you could down size the Mod a bit. I have buddy that rides for Rome and he must be... thinkin´... 175cm tall and ripped a 153 in Niseko when he came to visit last winter. We rode park jumps, rails and pow and he had no problems with a short board. I rode a 156 last season and never looped out or had any butter issues. I beat this board up with a 140+ day season and ended it with a month in Norway riding park. I think you like a 150. Hope that helps your decision. Brian Yo noel,

Im right at the weight limit for that 150, so i wasnt sure if i would be looping out on backseat landings and butters.
