I am about 5'8'' and about 140lbs. I am looking for a good powder board. However, I am thinking a 159 is probabally a little long for me. Any thoughts?

150 155 Ya, I don't think you want a 159. It would somewhat depend on what type of riding you want to do. If this is a "powder only" board though like you seem to be saying you might be ok. It's really personal preference. I don't know what other boards you have, but for example, if you have a 156 and like it just fine, then you could probably get away with a 159 powder board. But if you're jumping much more than 3 or 4 cm it's gonna be quite a change for you.
