How old are you?

If you're still going to grow some I'd definitely go with the 152.

i am 13 still growing but will i feel that the 52 i will have no control over

snowboarder1 · 07-31-2010, 01:54 PM

Wait, you grew three quarters of an inch in a week??!!!

Keep in mind that you won't be using this board for another 6 months or so. 152 may be a little long for a park board now, but it will probably be a good fit in a few months. I would lean toward the 152, although a 149 could work too. It depends on one unknown: how much you'll grow in the next few years. You may not get much taller, but you will definitely fill out and get heavier.

haha ya ik haha 3/4 an inch in a week is alot ha but im supposedly gonna grow around 3 inches this year so im fine with a board a bit big now as long as it isnt like to the point where i cant stand it

Since you are mainly riding park the 149 will be perfect for you.
