Tips on board purchase?

I am an intermediate rider but I have always rented boards. My best times have been on a Liquid Force board. 1. How to I know the best size and design when I go to purchase a board? I am 5'5", 140lbs. 2. If you have recommendations for a particular brand, that would be cool too. 3. Bindings?

Thanks in advance!

I would say since youve rented boards in the past go with the one you liked the best, since its mostly personal preference. You said you liked the Liquid Force, you might wanna look at a 136 Substance, I just picked an 03 blem from up from closeoutdude.com for $250. Also think about how much your gonna grow in the future, dont buy a board your gonna have to scrap next year.

Hyperlite Revelation, usually on sale at Sports Challet for $250 with very good quality bindings included.
