    Hey, sorry but I use the calc and came up with 152 length (25.2 width) — but i am assuming the averages of style=freeride/freestyle and ability=intermediate.  Yeh, if your style=freestyle or ability=beginner then it recommends a little shorter like 148 to 150.  You could go with anything from 146 to 156 really, but closer to in between would be most accurate.  More important than length is width.  Dont get a board thats too wide (over 25.5) or narrow (under 24.1) .  I have size 9.5 boots and i like a 24.9 width.So most boards of the shorter length (like 148) are actually too narrow for your boot size.  For example the rossi Legion 148cm Snowboard is a 24.2 width which is borderline.  The 152 is probably right on the money for you at width of 24.5.
