Questions on size of board

I think I am a little out of tune with sizes of boards. I haven't bought a new one in quite a while. I am planning on getting an SST, but now I am not sure what size. I am about 5'-11" 185. I think the 41" is the right size, but i am not for sure. Until the thread came out about the 08 LF i didn't even know they were makeing a 42". Any input.

bobewing33, i think you'll be good with 41. It pretty much depends what you like.

I just wondered because I know the maven is a girls board so to speak and it is a 41" I am really wondering if the 1" will make that big of a difference

bobewing33,

I'm 5'11" and around the same weight and 42 is good enough for me...
but I'm also planning to try the 41 i think there wouldn't be any difference. Very Happy

Sounds like the 41 one will be good. Thanks Bra

Personal preference. Try as many skates as you can and make an educated decision based on what you like.
