What size snowboard should I get?

Question

I'm 5'8", ~135lbs, foot size 9.5. I'm an intermediate rider, I can carve slightly down black diamonds, easily down blues and greens. I'm starting to park, but ain't hardcore about it, I love freestyling on the mountain, 180'ing off sides and goin' through trees..

The board I want to get has two choices, 150 or 154 and I was wonedering which would be better for me, a 150 or 154? I think I'm extremely content on a 152, but I couldn't find good boards at 152. Is getting a good board on sale at a size 150 or 154 going to be extremely detrimental for me?? Would it be better if I got a shorter board or a longer one?

If your starting park and like butter and spin definitely go 150. At 135lbs I would get a 150 even if I wasn't a park rat but that me. You will have more control with a 150

EDIT: Roxy a board that goes to your nose means nothing. I don't know were all this bad information came out on sizing snowboards. Weight and riding style is how your size should be determined

Find one that goes up to your nose.. u usually want a board shorter for park, but if u just like to ride then i would get a longer one. dont waster ur money on high tecch boards if ur not expert. im about the same skill level as u and im pretty happy with my cheap morrow board. 

also you want a board a little bit stiffer if ur better, but if u like to just have fun i would try one a little more flexibe.
