149 or 152 Gnu B-Pro?

Question

I'm going to get a Gnu B-Pro and I'm debating between a 149 and a 152. I'm 5'3, 140 pounds, ride everything except pipe, and I'm not a speed demon. I already checked the Frosty Rider calculator thing but I wanted some real human advice. Does the 3 centimeter difference really matter?

Answer 1

no unless your like a pro you will never notice a difference in 3 centimeters

Answer 2

The frosty calculator is a guide to what board you should buy but it doesent take into account personal preferences as some people prefere long boards some short boards. I myself ride a board shorter than would be recommended by one of those online calculater things mainly due to the type of riding i do. I think looking at the type of riding you do you will be better off with the shorter board and although 3 cm isent a massive difference, you will still feel the difference when riding. If you were say more into freeriding and going fast i would say go for the longer board but as you are more of an all round rider i think you would be better off with the 149. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Answer 3

At 5'3 I think the 152 is a little much to handle.  You would be best off with the 149.  

I am 5'7 and I'm on a 149, my pow/bigger board is a 154.
