josh is right about the length. im 5'8 and my pro board is a 154. its the max size for me..though i do have a 156, but its for rails. i like the better flexibility, which is what i was talking about earlier liking different size boards.for $120 id keep it and ride it. ive never heard of morrison either. but alot of the sites like dog funk reallyonly carry the big dogs when it comes to boards. stuff they KNOW they can get rid of, ie burton. so giveit a try, you might like it ok. and it'll be a great board when you grow alittle more.the reason i ride a board thats real short is, we have alot of ice here where i live, so speed has neverbeen an issue, control is. and shorter boards are easier to control. so when im shooting to a ramp todo a trick, i can hit ice patches to increase my speed like i was riding a longer board, but have thevery very light swing weight of the
