I'm 156 cm tall (5,1) and I'm 56 kg. I wanted to get a Rome agent board which is 148cm (4,11) since it's shape and flex is what I'm looking for and I like the design. However I measured 148 cm with a measuring tape and I'm worried I will look ridiculous with a long board since I'm pretty short.
So I've been thinking it's time to buy a new board since I got one I didn't like too much last time. I mainly want to use it for carving and for hitting the park, so I figure that a medium flex would be good, but I'm stuck on choosing a good length. I'm 158 cm (5foot 2) and 56 kg (123lb). I've checked multiple sources and each time I get different results for board length
So this is going to sound stupid, but I see some people wearing proper water proof, professional looking clothing while others are wearing what looks like just regular clothes. So I was wondering if it would be fine wearing regular clothes as I don't like the feel of waterproof coats so much and if so, how do I prevent the clothes from soaking with water?
