    Hello,At the local shop here there is a used 164 that looks nice and is a good dealI am 6' 165 and the calculator says I should have a 158 that seems like a big differenceI am a photographer and I would like to do backcountrry if necessary, but a 164 seems really bigI am going to be a photographer at the local mountain as well , purgatory and will be on the mountain a lot i think there are tricks and such there

    Remember the calculator is just a guide (a good one at that but just a guide). Depending on what you are wanting to do is going to determine what size board you are going to use (as shown in the guide). Since you are a taller person, you may want to go with a SLIGHTLY longer board than 158 but if you want to be trikkin' you are gonna need the smaller board to get around easier.Zelo
