Hey everyone.

I have a question about what size you'd recommend for a Lib tech Banana magic or T Rice snowboard.

I'm 5'11, 190 lbs, mostly stick to the groomers but hoping to do more powder riding this year as well, so basically I want something that is nimble and fun but also floats well in powder.

I know a snowboard doesn't know how tall you are, but controlling a 161 is going to be harder than a 158, but a 161 will float better... I suppose the question is, on these Lib Tech boards would a 158 float well for me? I already have a 158 K2 Slayblade and it doesn't float much but it is 100% flat.

Thanks in advance!
