    Weight range for new board - HELP!

    Hi all,

    I need some help with a new board purchase. I'm looking at a board with a recommended weight range of 135-185. I'm below the max recommended weight by 5 pounds. Would it be okay for me to get the board or should I consider a longer board? The reason I want this specific board length is so I can play around in the park.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Depends on the board and the type of snow you will also be riding outside of the park. What board is it(model/length)? Where do you ride? What is your boot size?

    With all your gear on you will probably be at least 5 lbs heavier. Regardless, I don't have much faith in a lot of companies weight ranges for boards, flew ratings for boots etc. If that is your only concern I would get it as long as it's the right width and length.
