Just looking for advice Im 5'6" 195 lbs. Not fat more stocky figured I need about a 150-154 size board. I wear a 10.5 boot. Regular Stance. Snowboard a few times a year. Usually rent I have alot of fun with a 146cm when I rented last. But I just coudn't keep balance with alot of speed. After using my buddies 156 last week I felt like it was way to much board for me. Like to hit the jumps more than anything rails to. Just wondering if the smaller sized board will be too small for my feet? Will I need wide or is that for way bigger feet?
