Depends on where u live really, anywhere where ur on huge mts and ur in deep snow a little longer will be better, if your looking into going to the park and ur not on big mts u need a little bit shorter board. For being a beginner overall shorter is better, easier to control. I would say get anywhere from a 150-154 try to stay at the lower end, but u dont wanna get one too short, it could easily snap or damage the board. Hope this helps!

Oh ok, I live in michigan haha, yeah around the 150-154 area should fit best for ya in my opinion.

flow verve..... or the era, cant remember lengths of these boards but somewhere in the 152-156 range I would say. Verve is more park oriented and era is all mountain freestyle.... so either one would suit you!
