Depending on your boot size, you can stick with something in the 156 range, or drop down maybe to a 152, though you'll probably be at the top end of most weight ranges. Not a bad thing, just something to note since the board will be more "flexy". What size boot do you wear?

As for what board, the world is your oyster. Do you have a budget in mind? Relative skill level? Any specific boards you've found interesting?

boot size is 11 and im willing to spend up 400 or 500. im going to camp of champions in june so ill be able to get boards cheap or even free. so thats good. will a smaller board just help me spin?
