well I don't care what board you get but you are gonna need a wide one and somewhere in the 160's first one that comes to mind is the custom but that's alittle expensive

check out the k2 anagram wide...good for mountain riding and parks...twin tip board. im riding it right now and i like it a lot. also the burton bullet is a wide board and is also a twin tip so its good for the park but ive also read its good for mountain riding.

Make sure you get a comfortable set of boots first of all though
