I would say go for the 156 if you enjoy mucking about, buttering, popping, switching, etc... and bombing down the hills. But if you're strictly a free rider in pursuit of high speeds, go for the 159. To be honest with you, you shouldn't notice much of a difference between a 156 and a 159 in this case, especially given your height and weight, but I find these numbers have a psychological effect on a rider that translates on the slopes.

Holding a person's weight fixed, longer boards provide better stability under faster speeds than shorter boards at the same speed. Also, don't forget, longer boards are for taller people to compensate for that person's higher center of gravity. Let me know what your height/weight is and give me a description of your general/typical riding style, and I'll give you a better answer :) Hey Robson, depends on what kind of rider you are and how pounds you are above 175 lbs.

the weight range for the 156 tops out at 175 lbs. How much of a difference does 3 cm make?

Good advice. I'm definately going to get one. One more question and I think I know the answer. Stick with the 159 length or go shorter? Scott Thanks Rami! Good advice.

The Custom is more flexible than the Jussi overall, but the difference is not that much. I can do butters on my T6, which is one of the stiffest boards you can ride, so I don't think board flexibility should affect your butters too much; although buttering is easier with more flexible boards. With that said, the Jussi is a twin board while the Custom is directional. So riding switch will be easier. So as you press on your tip for example and do the switch to butter, you'll be able to maintain your balance a bit better. So I think the main difference is that the Jussi will handle speed and more aggressive riding better than the Custom. Summary of points: Jussi is twin so its easier on switches. Custom is slightly more flexible, so difference in flex won't be that much. Jussi 2010 has more pop than previous models, so that should help. My recommendation is to stick with the Jussi since you like it, especially if you like to ride aggressively every now and then. You'll just have to practice butters more till you get it. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know! Jussi 2010 is a more flexible board than the previous ones (in my opinion) and it has more pop.

So I'm now trying to decide between the 2010 Jussi, which I love the look of, and the Custom, which people say is the softer easier board to do butters on. I don't jib on rails or boxes and don't really ride pipe but I like smaller jumps, 180s, glades, side of the trails, that sort of thing, shitty east coast conditions mostly but still find the powder occasionally. I'm leaning toward the Jussi but fear I'll be disappointed if I can't get butters it. And to complicate things the guy at my local shop is singing praises of the new V rocker boards. I'm six foot 175 lbs. Your thoughts? Thanks!

The scoop was added and the graphics were changed. As for my experience with it on the slopes, overall stiffness was reduced. Yeah more or less. The scoop was added and the graphics were changed.
