Hi,
I am 72kg and 174cm tall. Of the two sizes, 160 and 156, which will suit my height and weight preference. Normally you upsize for a powder/free ride board, but burton suggests to downsize 2-4cm from normal board size (i usually ride a 156). I want to use this board for Japan(powder) so bear that in mind. Thanks for your help

it depends on how aggressive of a rider you are. If think you can control a 160, then go for it. I am 173cm and 70kg and am an aggressive rider in the powder and I prefer the 156, but I am also a girl. I have ridden a 158 and a 160 in other boards and just felt they were a bit much to control.

dude, go for the 160. regardless of what burton says about downsizing, i don't think the 156 will give you adequate float for your weight. even if it did, a 156 will feel too slow.
