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

i think at cas it dosent really matter, as you cant really sink into the powder if your board is to small for you

I'm 6ft and ride both a 159 and a 162. Find the 159 no good in powder and am also ridding the 162 at cas for freestyle with no problems except my own abilities. Wieght about 12 and half stone.

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 Wink

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")
