There is no single answer to that question. Its all personal preference. Best thing to do is Demo each size and see what you like.

As a generalization, bigger boards tend to pop you higher, but spin slower. The opposite goes for smaller boards. I know this may no longer apply to some boards.

Go to your local board shop, ask them to give you a demo for the day, it usually costs 10 to 20 bucks. You get a board for the day, they get the money and a possible sale.
