Hi Guys,

I am looking e setup for a hardboot setup for the little bro. He is 8 but really short (around 4 feet). The smallest board i have seen is a 135cm Burton and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a 135 (or ideally smaller if they exist), boots and bindings. (Not sure of the boots size right now but will post it later.
Thanks a lot

oldkey (here on BOL) is a guy in the Minneapolis area who helps a youth racing group. He may be able to set you up or give you some leads.

good hunting!

Though longer than what you are looking for , I think this board would work. and he could grow into it.

Never used, couple scratches from sitting in the shop I bought it from.

Let me know and I can send pics.

Someone else was kind enough to remind me of this option on a recent post.

You will pay about $50 - $75 more than used , but the board will be new. I just bought the only used 135 I could find, and have only once seen a board shorter than 135. I also need one board smaller than a 135 for an 8 year old.

Remember to always check Ebay.

I will keep an eye open for the both of us.

I also have a used Burton Speed 149 used to get a 3rd place medal at last year's USASA Nationals. As noted above, bigger than you need now, but kids grow quickly in both size and ability...that Oxygen could be a good move.

Good luck....I'll keep watching.
