I rode the original 159 Banana 2 years ago from park to big mountain, I'm 6'0" 185 lbs. size 9.5 with a basically flat stance--no worries. The Banana rips everything, most fun board I have ever ridden and rides like a Caddy. It can take whatever you throw at it, so the question is not if you will be OK with the board but will it be OK with you? This board deserves a rider who charges everything hard...

I'm 6' 170 and have a size 11 boot and i use a 156. it all depends on what you want to do. I have no problems in powder though.

O ya, you can definitely rock a 159 for sure. Especially in the park, the shorter size will come in handy for more control and maneuverability. And with you height being under 6 foot, I would definitely say a 159. If you go much bigger you're gonna start to feel like you've got clown feet as a snowboard. The board will just be too big and clumsy.
