hi, i;m getting a new board. have been riding a 165 10 year old oxygen element. looking at rossi krypto magtek. i’m 6’2” 215lbs. is 163 big enough or should i get the 167 ?

if you mostly go fast and cruise get a longer board, if you do trees or freestyle (jumps & jibs) get a shorter one, because it will be easier to turn and way easier to spin in the air.
probably go chin height (boards are measured in centimeters so measure up to your chin in cm)

thanks so much for your reply. i dont really do park, but want to do more trees. have been held back a little because my board seemed hard to turn quickly. (although i could be more me than the board) leaning toward 163 for eaisier/quicker turning-was just worried that i might be too heavy for the board to function properly.
