Ok, I am 6'1 about 220-230lbs, currently riding a Lamar 163, I find that I have to use my arms a little bit to maneuver the board a little bit, but I am not sure if this is the 4 year old board or what. What I really want to do is have an awesome powder board that is long enough and has enough flex to do some awesome buttering, should I go for the 169cm?
