Hi, I'm looking to buy my first board, I'm 6ft, 190lb, size 12 boot. I ride mountain atm, but will look to get into the park a bit. I'm not sure which size i should get, a 156W or 159W...any suggestions? Will the 156W handle my weight?

David's right about only a 1" difference, but if you're lookin to slay the park I'd go with the 156, it'll handle your weight for sure and you'll be able to spin and jib way easier. The "banana" part of this or rocker will make it feel longer for when you want to float the pow on that snowy day

Go with the 159W. Sure the 56 will handle your weight it's only about 1" difference in size, but the 59 will probably be better suited and will be able to go a little faster. I'm about your size (a bit heavier) and usually ride between 160w and 164w.
