I'm 6'4", 215 lbs. Intermediate rider, want this for primarily lift-riding in WA (some powder, but not usually a ton). Less park, more speed/all mountain. Is the 164.5 gonna work for me, or is it too small for my size?

take a look at the specs of the T Rice 164.5 and the skunk ape 169. The specs are identical (running length, tip/tail width, etc). The only difference is the skunk ape is 0.5 cm wider in waist width. Personally I'd go for a shorter board that runs long. Best of both worlds for pow and non-pow days.

Mine just arrived...it does look kind of small...and I just read about how cool the Skunk Ape board is as well. Maybe I should get 169+ in that board instead. The Skunk ape looks slightly wider too, probably better for my size 13 boot. Can't decide. Note this TR board weighs about 6.7-8 pounds in the 164.5.

Thanks for the reply. I read somewhere that this board rides a lot bigger than it is. I guess I mostly end up on groomers and some icy stuff (have a seasons pass to Snoqualmie because I live so close). My current board is a 165 (first board I bought used from a friend about 13 years ago). I've been riding a lot lately so wanted to test out the new technology. All the cool boards I've seen don't come big (e.g. burton custom X, this one). I'm hoping this one "rides bigger". If I start doing a lot of powder maybe I'll get a 170+ powder board for that purposes and this will be my all-rounder. I almost went with the custom flying V, but I read it sucks on ice, which I do see a decent amount where I ride.

Sizing is always tough - for your description I would recommend a bit longer board. I am 6'2" 180 and prefer a 168 for all mountain + powder (primarily OR/WA), but we all ride differently.
