Im 5'1" and i weigh 115-120 pounds i want a custom flying v but the smallest size is 148 will this board be to big for me to ride? Im looking for a all-mountain board more for powder and backcountry if you have any more suggestions that would be great thanks!!!

FWIW, I'm 5'7 and 120lbs, had the Flying V in 157 for 3 days, riding pow and groomers. It's an easy to handle board.
If a 148 does well in pow I don't know, never tried a board that size/shape, but you won't have problems to turn it, I'm sure.

There is another really good thread going here on the forum about rider height but to summarize, your height is not a factor at all in board sizing. Foot size on the other hand is a big one. Please let us know your foot size so we can make some informed suggestions for you.

In terms of weight alone you are comfortably within the board 40 lb core weight range and it is an excellent fit...but that can all get blown up by foot size so please let us know that as well. STOKED!

I cant thank you enough. I never knew those bindings existed and quite frankly i am overwhelmed at how much those will help me as i typically run with a bunch of skiers. Sliding in fast will make them shut the hell up about me taking so long haha. I will definitely buy the bindings from your website if only you sold the board to thanks so much again.
