if you want a board just for riding though the park and jibing sh1t then a 152 would do but it you want somthing that you can cruise around on aswell then the 155 would be better

It's a good thread, I wouldn't want to start a new one so could someone offer me similar advise.

I am just over 6 ft 12 1/2 Stone and a relative beginner, any recommendations?

Also some good n00bie board tips would be good as I really want to get my first board.

I will be using it mostly for park stuff as my main riding outlet comes in the form of the snowdome these days.

Don't get a chance to it the hill much Sad
