I am 5'6 and 155 lbs. What size should I get. I know it says to down size with the rocker boards. Just not sure how much. This is my second year so im pretty green, and was on a 148 last season.

furfinley hes talkin bout his previous board was a 148. but yoo man it really depends on what your doing. those other guys are right, sure a 148s small for backcountry n shit. but if your hittin park then it would be sick for jibs n rails... im about your exact height and weight id get the 52. since its rockered its already gonna float better in pow..so you can downsize a bit...if you mainly do freestyle shit id say the 52. the smaller boards gonna be better to do tricks and airs n shit..plus the boards a jibby board with mid flex so itl be dope on rails. but say if your riding only pow and just want a all mountain then id go 55. then again this boards deff a park board....i guess it all depends what typa ridin you do.

Also depends on where you live and what kind of mountains you will be riding. 152-156 would be perfect...52 if you live somewhere in So cal and 155 if you live in UT or CO.

If you want this exact board, they obviously don't have a 148. I would get the 152 or 155 if I were you. A 148 is getting a little on the short side for your weight. Considering you're just going into your second year I would go with something from a 152-156. This will be short enough to control and maneuver but you won't held up because you're board is too short.
