look at frosty pimpin the forums! welcome to the dark side ;)i have a recon, i'm 5'8 148 10 1/2 and i ride a 146 on the recon.a 152/3 is a good midrange compliment. being almost 6ft dontgo lower than a 148. trust me, my 146 is sloooooooow. and itsso short it throws off having a super flexible board (the reconis a flex..3?)other option is a forum manual (all manufacturers will have a boardlike this one..its the rail killing board). my manual is a 156, but thatsbecause i like the superflex of it. its a flex 2 i think. btw, both of these boards are available in last years model on ebayfor nothing…9 times outta 10 brand new still in the forum bag.and the only difference between last years model and this years modelis, well to me, last years models graphics look sooo much cleaner.happy hunting!
