Yeah sounds like a good choice. The Elit Team Design 42 (PP or PE) is really good and not that expensive.
Cheers,

Hey Telmo,

I think 41 is a good size for your height/weight

If you like stiff boards for speed and DK you need a 3D core or PP or FRC board i think.

If you drop knee a lot you can also use a longer board because 41 isn’t that long for DK for your size. Longer boards are better for DK.

We rode the 3D player board in 41.5 in Sagres, Portugal in April/May and it was good. Stiff but not too stiff.

We hope this helps you.

Cheers,

there’s good info here for board sizes: http://www.ebodyboarding.com/booger_picker

if you’re 162 you can go for something between 39 and 40, specially if you’re still growing fast.

Thanks admin, so NMD Ben Player 39 inches will be good for a guy like me, ’cause I’m exactly 162cm and 54kgs?
Thank you very much for your help and I’m sorry if I bother you guys with my questions.

Samir, you probably need something around 38-39 inches i reckon if you’re 160cm and 55kgs
