It all depends on your riding style, skill level, etc. But going straight off your stats, this would probably fit. Backcountry has a great sizing article. You should check it out.... http://www.backcountry.com/store/dc/497/Backcountry-Snowboards-Size-Guide.html
Do you get the EXACT board as pictured for each size?? I know there are like 8 different combinations in each size, but does Backcountry only cary one color combo for each length?
Hey, I just picked up this board. I guess the guy that helped my pick it out was confused. He told me it would be fine for carving. I am fairly new to the sport and spend most of my time on downhill runs trying to get better at carving, and just better overall. Is this not the correct board for me? Any suggestions?
wow. maybe you should have supported your local shop instead of buying online. a salesman in your local shop couldve taken the time to help you decide what really wouldve been the right board, instead of just sellling what they have a ton of. plus, you couldve taken it back to them if you found it was not what you wanted. serves youright for shopping online if you dont know what you really want or need. the www is a park board, most park rats cant even carve.
Though this board will not be ideal for carving, it will slay any rail you come across. The rocker on this board is designed to allow easier buttering and presses on boxes, which is pretty much the opposite of carving lol =P If you're a beginner looking to progress I would look at maybe the K2 Slayblade or the Believer, which both repping the "flatline" technology which gives the board ZERO camber, making it a mellow board for any situation be it carving to sending it at the park.

i sized down about 5 cm on a www 2008 and it still feels good. it's true about the k2's riding long. look at the effective edge and compare it to other boards' effective edges.
I'm 6'0 175 and considering the 148. I ride a 156 all mtn board and I want serious jib. Like Taylor said, it's all about how you want it to operate. If I was your size I'd be jumping at the 145, so I don't think the 148 is any stretch of the imagination.
It'll be on the smaller side of your spectrum, but it's not like the board just won't work for you. If anything, it may take a bit of getting used to. I've ridden and tested boards within 7-9cm difference, and it just comes down to how you like a stick to operate.
