Gnu boards and rider weight?

I can't find this info on their website. I'm 6'1 175 lbs and wanting to buy the RC 157.5 with MT. I been riding a 161 for 3 years and i've always felt it was a bit long for riding icy, narrow, crowded northeast runs.

157.5

You'll be fine on the 157.5.

...

I'll second that.I ride a Trice 157 and a banana 156 and I'm 5'11 185.you're gonna be much happier on the shorter board.

11 Up

I just got a 162 11up Series with MTX this season and took it out once so far and loved it. I'm 6'0 205 lbs. With your weight I'm sure the 157 would work.

Do it...

Anything right in there, and you'll be good. Aim for 55-58. I'm the same size, and if you're not on big, high speed choppy mountains, you might just be fighting a 61 on the East Coast. Hope that helps.
