Hey Jet,

At your weight, the boards you are looking at are far too small. As they are particularly soft and short at almost 13 stone, you will fold them in half in an instance.

Maybe look at the Nitro Addict or the Arbor Formula… sure even the Burton blunt, but more around 156-158 minimum.

If you have to get either the Burton or Nitro, then the Nitro Sub Zero would be the better choice, but the next size up would be more suitable.
