Hey guys
looking to get myself a board to chuck a set of boots on for hitting sliders and getting into more wakestyle focused riding!

just wondering what kind of size i d be looking at for some one as short as me (5'5) and weighing about 70 kgs.

Managed to find the attached size chart on web, note your 70kg's converts to approx 154lbs. While recommended sizing given is quite broad (134-142cm), think what you can take away from this is don't go smaller than 134cm. (Keep in mind this is a wakeboard chart, but has some relevance to using boots.)

If of any help, I changed to boots recently and stepped up the size of my board considerably from what I had used for pads/straps. My new board is 140cm and size chart for my weight recommended 138-146cm. Has been a good move.

Stick to the bigger sizes, especially for your first boots board, i would suggest 138-140cm. I have also found you should be able to ride it with straps, it should feel big but you should be able to hold a edge even when the wind picks up. When picking boots try them on, if you get closed in toes make sure you have room around the toe, because when you kite you force your feet forward.
