Hello. I'm 5'9 and weight 155. Should I get the 154 or 158. I am currently riding a K2 Electra in 153. I rode a 158 wide once and didn't like it. I don't do a lot of speed runs. I just love turning. I surf and it shows in my style of snowboarding.
Thanks

agreed, the 154 will be perfect. you gotta remember these boards because of the binding setback, ride longer then they actually are, so the 158 would ride like a 161 (to big for you). I ride the 162, but I'm 6'1" and 195lbs

The 154 will be fine, and you will be able to whip it around a lot easier than the 158. The Malolo has a tapered tail that will sink the tail and lift the nose so you don't need that big of a board.
