K2 Slayblade Size - Snowboarding Forum

Hi im thinking of buying a new board for this season. I ride a K2 Zeppelin and thinking of buying the new Slayblade.

My Zep is 161 and im going into the park about 50% of my time now and was thinking would it make much of a difference if i went down to a 158 or should i stick to a 161? My hight is 6,1.

Whats the advantage of going for a small board?

more maneuverability and easier to spin on jumps and grinds
