(insert name), Its all about personal preference. Some people might tell you it will be too small, other wont. But It's not like your height is going to make the board sink...ya know?

(insert name), I'm 5"10 and 39" decks don't seem too short to me. They feel real nice, actually. BUT...I'm 190lbs, so they don't always float me as well as I'd prefer. If you're below 170lbs, I would think that a 39" would work for you. But a lot of this is personal preference and each board will ride a bit differently, so I would try and ride a few different boards (if that's possible) so you can see what they feel like.

5'10, 180 (107cm, 42 inch board), as they say it all about preference, try lots of boards.
