Jordy, welcome to the forum

A board should reach till your chin. That is considered the ideal size. I think the 162cm would better fit your size

I have the exact same hight, weight, boot size, board in mind and question.

Wide vs. regular is the question for me, as i'm interested in 162 custom.

With these measures a mid-wide board would probably be best

I just bought a burton Custom X 158 with Cartel Large bindings and burton size 12 boots. i am a surfer who recently moved to switzerland and am pumped to start boarding, but i'm worried the sales guy pushed the wrong width board on me. it seems I'd be fine with a mid-wide, but how can i look at my board and know if it's a mid-wide or regular?
