on the heals of another discussion it made me think that maybe boards should be measured in squared inches. length x width for a better idea of the board's size. for example a 137 byerly is about 917 inches2 and a 138 murray 902 inches2. the murray is supposed to the be larger board but seemingly quiet a few less square inches. granted this doesnt take into account tip/tail widths which could change the numbers significantly. dunno just seems like maybe its time to get truer measurements so you know your are purchasing a smaller/larger board.
