Great choice. Anagram is a good board for someone starting out in freestyle progression. The 152cm length will give you easy maneuverability especially for doing jumps. A little short for freeride tho as it would get a little squirreley in the powder and rougher terrain.Personally I have loved every K2 board I have ever owned and also have broken them all; and I am not really hard on boards compared to some people, so that's my opinion for ya. Very light and very lively for the first season. After that they wither but are fun right up until they break, haha. But for under $300 for a brand new ride I think it is worth it for sure. Good choice.
