I have the same question but instead of making another thread i decided to post it here. I'm 5'6" and weight 145. I'm planning to buy a Rome Agent or Rome Graft snowboard and was wondering what a good size board is for me. I was thinking around a 152 board? I'll be doing all mountain boarding but be focusing on jumps/rails a little more.

Company X may state a person who is 200lbs could ride a 119cm board, where as company Y says they could only ride a 347cm board. Do your own research, and don't listen to what other people tell you....including this post!

Don't listen to this post at all, he is just bashing you  I ride a 153 and weigh 170 lbs and LOVE it for jumping, trees, and moguls. I also have a 158, a 161.5, and a 164. The latter 3 are reserved for different levels of pow. If you ask me height DOES have a little to do with it (I've said this before right???). If you weigh 200lbs but you are only 5'2" a 158 will be harder to manuever than a 153 even if it's below your weight range. The short board may be a little floppier (desired in freestyle right?) but when you need to throw out a turn or a spin you will be much happier. That's my worthless 2 cents but you asked for it. And Sedition, quit bashing everyone!

Actually, a new study by the Central Committe of Investigations and Internet Bashing (CCOIAIB) was relseaded this afternoon. They ran a study with hot-tubs, Lane Bryant shoppers, and several over-priced Burton products. According to the report, buoyancy and boob size are actually the most acurate way to determine what size board one should buy. As a result, Burton has now bought out all the chain-mall fat-girl clothing stores, and is moving in on the hot-tub market. Burton's stocks are up now .0001%, according to Wolf Blitzer's "Situation Room" report on these "important developments." I'll update as more reports are released... |

If you ask me, boob size IS a VERY important especially development not to mention gravitational resistance, so quit bashing everyone around you
