AloJAH NALU,
I think 1" above or below your PIKO belly button is ok for sizing your bodyboard. If you are growing you might want to get it around your belly button or a little above. A bigger board will paddle faster, catch waves easier and work better in smaller waves for more speed and will give you more speed on flat sections of waves.
A slightly longer board is better for dropknee.
A smaller board will be better for more control. Will duck dive easier and would be better for more hollow waves.
If you can learn to control a bigger board, it will be better because you will catch waves easier and have more speed.
I hope this helps.
