Jayme,

Try out the board wizard on the main page.

For your weight, anywhere from 125cm to 130cm would be a good size.

Good luck!}

Congratulations on buying your first board of your own. There is a HUGE difference when you have your own that fits you better.

Before I had my own board, I used to ride whatever board wasn't being used at the time, which means I've ridden anything from a 131 to a 142.

I'm 5'4" and 120 Lbs. and I've found 131's to be my favorite so far. I'm hoping to demo a 134 soon if the Maven Sessions come our way.

Some of our local shops apply the demo fee (up to $50) to the price of the board you decide to purchase. Are you near any shops that demo?

i am also fivefoot three and 115 lbs and i used to do the same thing from using boards btween 128 - 141!!!!
i would reccomend about a 130-131 for your size cuz thats what works best or me!!!!
if your board is too bigfor your size it can make it hard for you to throw tricks!!!!

I'm 5'4" and 110-115 lbs, and would definitely recommend the Cadence 131. I was in the exact same situation riding borrowed boards and it's just so much more fun have your own set up. I've ridden the substance 134 (same as the cadence just with different graphics) and must say that I do find the 131 easier to handle. But if you do want softer landings maybe should go with the slightly bigger 134... Good luck!
