| If you're average weight, 159 seems about right, however 152 is short unless your 3 stone 5 |

You big lads who are riding little boards.................
Useless skiers ride small skis (and blades) cos they can't ride the real thing, get my meaning and go get yourself a proper board  |

| Cheesy, I can't figure out if that's a rebuff at me or not but I'd say your board is just about right, I'm on about 152 boards for the over 6 footers. |

| no mate, not at all, just my board looks slightly odd next to me being soo tall, but yeah a 152 would look worse - my missus rides a 153 and she is ickle! (5'5") |
