Im 6'1, 195lbs size 13 boot and i ride mostly groomers but im trying to learn the park this season. Im a intermediate rider who normally ride a 158, what size board should i go with? I have spoken to some DF gear experts who Ski (no snowboarders were available) they recommended a 156. The Dark series only comes in a 155, will a 155 be too small for me? Im not interested in speed just carving and learning the park.
Thanks

go with the 158W. The 155W is only 25.1 CM at the waist. You will have a lot of toe drag

My current 158W waist width is 25.8cm, which fits my size 13 perfectly. The dark Series 155W im looking at has a 25.1cm. Is the .7cm difference going to matter as far as toe drag? Or should i just take my chances with the dark series 158W? Thanks

going down one cm is no big deal but check the width on the board to make sure your boots won't drag. i"m 6'2" and my park board is a 154 and my pow baord is a 160. hope this helps.
