What length would you recommend?

Alright folks,

I’m thinking of buying a Bataleon Evil Twin classic. I’ve demoed a 155 but I can’t decide if thats the right length or if I should go for a 159.

I weigh 83kg and stand 183cm tall.

The majority of my boarding is done in Scotland where conditions are very changeable, but I’ll also be heading to an indoor slope. My intention is to hit a few more jumps and develop as a freestyle rider.

Any advice on which length to go for would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Pete

I would go for the shorter one as long as your weight is still in the range of that board.  Freestyle boards are typically shorter for better spinning and rail work, unless you are wanting to go off big kickers into powder in which a larger length will let you stick those.
