As I haven't been in the sport very long (little over a year), I haven't gotten the opportunity to try out a bunch of different boards. I was convinced to buy a 135 imperial last season by the local shop. I'm 6' and just shy of 180 lbs...and everybody tells me I need to get a bigger board! They're probably right, but the thing is, I have learned everything on my imperial (180's, 360's, backrolls, tantrums, scarecrows). My friend is going to let me demo his lyman 143 soon...is this too big of a leap?! What should I be riding? I know...demo, demo, demo...and I will. I'm just trying to get some typical board sizes for my weight.
