5'6 ~140 lbs. 50/50 park/mountain. Im riding a 152 right now but want to pick up a banana. 152 or 149? I like the idea of a 149 but I want it to be able to tackle the whole mountain, not just the park. Thoughts?

I'm 5'4" 140 and ride this board in 154 and it feels awesome. I'm still able to control it really well and tear up the mountain or the park if I feel like it.

149 is definitely long enough for you. I'm 5'6" and ride a 142 all mountain (I got it when I was about 5'1") and its not too bad at all so I'm sure a 149 will be great.
