how are the bindings? if you invest in a good pair it should be the only ones you'll ever use. As far the board goes you'll want parabolic, like this )( rather then || on the side, with a medium flex so it'll hold up a little better at increased speeds. As far as the legnth goes im thinking something around lips to nose height. The longer the board the faster you will go on it, and if you cant control the speed it can be pretty dangerous, so if your ever in doubt, go with something shorter. You'll still have fun, it'll just be safer. There are a lot of intermediate boards out there, so finding something shouldnt be too hard.
