I'm 5'11" and weigh 145 pounds. I'm east cost so I stay in the park a lot, but I also go out west and to Canada every season. Would you suggest a size 149 or 152 board for me?

152, and that would be still going short. 154-156 would be a more appropriate size, but if you want to go shorter for park, then 152 is okay. I am 5'5" and weigh 130 and I ride a 148 and shorter would be too short for me. The 149 would also probably be too narrow. You would have toe and heel overhang. at 5'11" your feet can't be small.
