OK guys i've narrowed it down to these two. Im 5'9, 165, size 11 shoe and this will be my first board. Any reason i should get one of these over the other? thx

Park or Mountain?

Regardless, the CHB MTX has a few things going for it. It's a Mervin board, made in the US, and has Magnetraction.

with size 11s you may want to go with a wide board. The GNU comes in a wide version. The ride doesnt.

i have a ride agenda 156 and i am 193 , for steep speedy runs its OKAY,and maybe it is just OKAY because i am tall for it. for jibbing and going around without speed and hitting jumps its good. so i think a begginner will worship that board so go for it. + i dont know anything about the other board u listed
