          I would say a 155 would be just right for you.  The House has a GREAT package deal where you can get a board, boots, and bindings all under $400.  I recommend the Rossignol Sultan 155 package with flow bindings (Large) and Sims Rally boots.  That is a dream rig-up for an awesome price.  Go to The House and click on Board Packages to see the deal.

            so frosty. what would you say is my sidecut and eff edge and waist. i dont even know what those are. haha. there seem to be a lot of boards that have the same specs as the rossignol sultan. some only come in 157 but i think that would be ok? for example the 156 cm legion seems to be a great deal. idk if its for me though. or the k2 illusion. and this goes without being said but boards that last me a few years is good too. haha thansk

              The effective edge and sidecut radius are things not nearly as important as board width and overall length, a very experienced snowboarder would be picky about those things.IMO, I think Rossi boards last longer than K2.  K2s are very fun rides, but might not be a coincidence I have busted every one I have ever owned.The Legion is a nice board too.  The build is not much different, but a bit more freestyle oriented (centered for ease of switch riding and quicker turning).

                yea i  think imgoing to go with the rossignol packages. between legion, scope, and sultan. which would you choose? still go with the sultan? i would like a board that isnt toooo noobish as well so i dont have to buy a new one in two years.

                  By what Frosty says, how about a Legion?  🙂
