Would it be easier to land jumps and do ollies with a shorter or longer snowboard?

I'm wanting an all-ride board, deciding between size 160 or 163....


im 190-195lbs, 6ft tall, 12 boot size... intermediate freeride, beginner freestyle

Would it be easier to land jumps and do ollies with a shorter or longer snowboard?
shorter because there is less weight and resistance.
Reply:shorter. because they are lighter and more flexibal and will help you spin faster, and also enable you to get more pop when ollie off a jump.
Reply:shorter all the way!
Reply:shorter. shorter boards are more controllable and can spins easier in the air, but longer ones are more stable and stay up better is pow. for freestyle you want more control and to able to spin, so go shorter. i actually suggest something shorter than your range listed. i suggest a 156 at the very shortest and then like a 161 to max out. you also want a more flexible board for park so look into that. if you want all mountain. do like 158 through 163 and look for a board with mid range flex
