5.8ft,about 185lbs,size11. looking for a board size that can handle a little speed, but also jumps,presses etc. Previous board was a Eddie Wall 154, was wondering if the 152 can handle it or should I stick with the youngblood 154?
Cheers

It does depend on your riding style for sure, if you focus on jibbing, rails, boxes then the 152 would be fine, if jumps and powder is your preference then the 56 would be your best bet.

Technically, you would be better off with the 154. But in my opinion, you should take into acount your preferences and your riding ability. A size chart would tell me to run a 157, but I spend most of my time on a 150. So, if you would prefer to ride a 152, go for it...the board should still ride well and perform well for you. Have fun, this board is sick!
