Hi, im looking to get a new board and could use some help. Im about 5'11 and weigh only about 130-135 lbs. My feet are size 10.5. I'm pretty much only riding park considering i ride at bear. I'm contemplating getting like a forum youngblood 155 wide with a waist width of 25.8 but im not sure if that would be too long or too wide. Thanks
Yo dood
First of all, what angles do you ride? Traditionally, most guys get away with 10.5's on standard width boards, and most switch to wide boards around size 11 feet. If you run your angles more ducked-out, you can get away with riding a standard width. As far as size goes, you are a taller dude, but you are way light, so a 155 may seem short for you when you are riding it, but if you ride park, it's going to be pretty easy for you to zip around on and get sick on those gnarly Bear rails. However, I have a friend who is about your same size, a little bit heavier by maybe 20 pounds or so, and he rides at least a 159. It'll give you more stability, if you are rail specific, short boards work just fine, but for more of an all around shred, consider sizing up. Hope that helps, later!

I would suggest that you stop throwing up after you eat and gain some weight. If you want to go on the advanced program, you can start drinking protein shakes in the morning.

That would be perf, but I demo'd the Youngblood and it is stiffer than I had imagined, check the Jiblet if you wanna stick with Forum.
As for your boots, if you rock a wide ducked stance, you don't need a wide board, it will be extra weight that you could lose.
If you are at like 24" wide and 15 and neg 15 degrees, you will be good on a regular sized deck.
I hope that helps along with the fella down low
Boo Yah!
