Replacement board for 2010 155cm Burton The Hero

If could add your weight that would helpful as well in recommending a board.

If you like the full rocker of the hero, then you migh want to look into a Thrive accomplice. Its a full rocker board that really holds an edge well. I rode the 2010 hero 152 sporadically and it was comparable to the 152 accomplice. Turns felt more true on the accomplice though and it felt lighter and had better pop thanks to the carbon stingers.

Another Thrive board to look at would be the renegade. Its a different than the hero in that its a hybrid profile. The renegade really rails through the trees and has great float for a board its size. Ive been on the 154 and it handles like a much smaller lighter board. It has the equivalent edge of a 157 so you can probably ride the 154. The 157 equates to a 160. Its really stable compared to the hero and was great in moderate powder.

The boards are also mid wide in waist width so you can size down with no toe drag. Some people weighing in at 185lbs still ride the 154 renegade and 152 accomplice.

But you should really demo the boards to see what you like and see how it works for you. Your preferences may be different than mine.

Somehow i feel like i was channeling ippy in this response.

Pm sent on some other things i forgot to mention.

Yea, no problem. I sent you a private message too. Were around the same weight so im thinking the 154 renegade and 152 accomplice would be better suited for you.

The boards are 50% off right now. It should be until the end of march. I would just email them and check their forums to find out where you can demo. It might be hard since theyre tahoe based. But there are some folks in canada that ride them that might be able to help you.

Good luck on your search.

My next board is going to be the Lobster Freestyle board. really want to try it out anyway, hoping it's the BOMB!

If you liked the feel of the Hero, the SuperHero is it's successor in the line. I'm riding a 154 right now and having a blast. I had a 155 Hero a couple seasons back and it's very similar overall, except they've added some of the Nug Raduction philosophy to it so you can ride a little shorter, and they've moved from the V-Rocker to the Flat-Top camber profile. The 154 definitely is a little stiffer than my old 55 Hero was, but not so much that I can't press the heck out of it. You could size down to a 151 and have a lot of fun on that deck, or stay close in length in the 154 and get some more stability out of the deck. Definitely worth a look along with some of the other suggestions in here.

For bindings, it doesn't matter much since you didn't mention flex. From your terrain prefernce, it sounds like you might benefit from stiffer bindings which are more aggressive. Someone mention K2 WWW. This board is a noodle. Is much softer than the Hero.

I threw in a few boards that are little stiffer like the TRS, because the op said barely any park. So a little stiffer board might be something that he might have an interest in.
But yes I agree that the TRS, T.Rice, Goliath, Agent Rocker, are a little stiffer.
