it doesnt matter to much, try a cassete, i have the 2003 regular cassete, with a foam top, that would be fine for you, there like $119, maybe a 41-43 would be a good size for ya, not sure which one, demo if ya can |

90-180? The 41 seems to be a good all around size, or you could get the 4-trac. Anyone can pretty much ride that board like 15 year old Danny Hampson to much bigger riders. _________________ Behind the boat house, I'll show you my DOCK SECRET

I think the best one for you is the hyperlite 03 scape. Its cheap at around 100 and it is foam top so if you are just having a bunch of beginers try it out you dont have to worry about shoes. It is a decent board anyways if you want to start getting good. If i were you id definitely go foam because you dont need shoes and with shoes the grip is good too. |

True, the hyperlite 03 scape would be a really good choice, since it's the cheapest concave out there and it has an EVA foam top. _________________ Behind the boat house, I'll show you my DOCK SECRET

The platinums are concave. They are exactly the same as the SBG w/o the eva top. _________________ Behind the boat house, I'll show you my DOCK SECRET
