Hey guys I was hoping to get some advice on what size board to get. I’m 5’5 115 with a size 8 boot. Pretty much full grown. I’m looking to get a Never Summer evo this year. I already have a smaller board for jibbing, so this board will be primarily used for jumps and around the rest of the mountain. I wasn’t sure if I should go with a 147, or size up to a 150. Keep in mind it’s a softer flex board but they have blunted tips this year, so it’s said to ride like a bigger board than it really is. Should also add will be riding the east coast, Vermont and Maine. Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you want to hit bigger kickers and maintain more speed, size up.

If you want to focus more on spinning and technical rails, size down.
