Introduction and board query

Plenty of good advice, and lots to take in, thanks folks. 

I might visit STM with my sis later on about the demo option, sounds like a good idea i never thought of.
Will still have the 155 board and no doubt that could go OS with me if i do get something more for local conditions.  I’m the furthest thing from being king of the mountain, no doubt each suggested board including what i’ve already got will do me just fine for ages. 

All this fuss over a couple of cm’s!

It’s always the size that matters, bogmow!!!!!

If you’re using it primarily as your Australian board, I’d stick to something around the 152 mark. It’s a good compromise on size and will handle anything the Australian mountains throw at you.

I’ll be at STM on Thursday from 3pm till 8:30pm if you want to pop in for a chat.

You’d be surprised… I love my 155 but throw me on a 158-160 and I just don’t have as much fun… And my recommended board is around a 158-160 :(
