size of board is mostly deciding on ur weight. i weigh just under 140, i ride a 154. as for finding a board, i started out on a burton chopper as little guy, now after like 8yrs, im up to burton shaun white. so yea ur weight determines size of board. as for bindings, bigger feet = bigger bindings.

well i can definately say my boards (you would think i'm weird) are 157...and i weigh just under 200 lbs..so you can hear what everyone tells ya about a board and how big it's supposed to be...BUT my boards were chosen because i feel comfty riding them...any day being comfty> not being comfty...just my 2 cents oh and also i'm 6'1"
