5'2 and about 85 lbs - Help with board sizing and picking out a board?
Measurements
* Height: 5'2
* Weight: 85 lbs (I'm trying to gain weight, but I won't let that stop me from buying a board)
* Boot Size: 8 / 9 (depending on the boot)
Experience
I have been snowboarding for around 3 years now. I can do blacks just fine and am starting to do double blacks (going to Park City soon and am excited to go check out Jupiter Peak). I have rented boards this entire time and they have always been anywhere in between 140cm - 150cm.
Type of Board
*All-Mountain
*Flex Rating 5-6
*Should be able to butter well
If anybody could help me out with finding a board and a good size (or help with either one) that would be amazing, thanks!
P.S. My best guess for a snowboard size for me would be 145cm.
