I was about to lay down the money on 1080 boots and poles today but wanted to use them for a few seasons and more. Lately Im buying gear and using it for a season and selling it. When do we stop growing? Im 15, 5'7', 155 pounds and I have a size 10.5 foot.

Whats yur take on all this?

I think you may want to hold off on that man, you may have some growth ahead of you

just never buy stuff that you plan to grow in to... especially boots, it will suck. buy the right size

i would bet that your boot will not get much better you might get taller and heavier but i think your foot is done

True. Ill give another year at max to buy or look for used shit. This year I just leased these Rossi boots cuz I got free wax/tune, free pole rentals (really sweet Salomon ones too), and If I need a different size/model throughout the year theyll exchange em for free. For how much? $25. I was happy.
