im 5'9 and wear a size 11 boot and im not sure if i should get this board (or maybe the nitro rook) in wide or not, but the thing is im only 14 years old and i plan on growing more, and having this board for at least 2 years. I think i might go with a 156 wide but im really not sure. what do you recommend?

How much do you weigh? That is a pretty important question. Let me know that and I can get a better idea of what size board you will need.

Length of board would depend on your weight and what you like to ride. I couldn't recommend a length cause I don't know if you're 130lbs or 230lbs. I would say get something a cm or two longer than you would if you were keeping the board for a single season. For two seasons that should be fine as long as your feet don't get a lot bigger and you gain a ton of weight. As far as width goes you'll need something thats at least a mid wide. Look for a waist width of 250mm or larger and you should be cover in the toe/heel drag department. Good luck.
