I'm a newer, intermediate rider...up to this point, I've just been renting a board...usually 150 to maybe 154 at the longest. I'd like to have my own board for next season. Generally I'm just riding the mellow blues, maybe an occasional olly...but might evovle into more. I'm 5'8" and 168# Would this Jones board in a 158 be a good first purchased board for me given the above? Thx!

It will obviously be a good big-mtn board, but because you're on the smaller side, it will be a little harder to handle in groomed or thin conditions. If you really like the board, though, you'll adapt to turning harder, and it will be a more enjoyable ride. I got a board a bit larger than I wanted, but use it for powder more, and turning with every bit of my heart and soul is just an awesome feeling! Lol, good luck man
