board sizing question(not asked before) - Snowboarding Forum

so i've found a lot of sizing charts for various boards and none of them seem to share commonalities with other sizing charts.

based on what i inputed at frostyrider.com for my height/weight/style/shoe size it came up with a 162cm board(which i found) that has approximately a 26.2cm waist(which i found in 26.8 which is better).

so i found a board i liked: gnu riders choice btx 162W and i check the sizing chart and it says "140-190lbs" yet another board: k2 anagram 163W(just using this board for comparison purposes) says 163W is for riders 160lbs+.

so that being said, how accurate are individual sizing charts when choosing a snowboard? i'm 6'2 250lbs size 12.5-13 boot and i want to do mostly freestyle. so is the gnu not going to be sufficient for me?
