... Why does everyone want a custom... its really a POS board. Average at park, average at all mountain, average flex and a **** binding system... you'd be better off looking at a long Ride Machete or a long GNU Riders Choice which are both tons better boards and are about $50-$100 cheaper. In regards to your question, get the 157, the 162 is too big. If you go the 162, you prolly don't even need the wide as size 12's can probably fit on the normal board fine.
Wooooo
The 157 would be a better fit for you. It will be easier to turn in trees as well as help your spins in the park. I'm 6'2" and ride a 159 for all mountain. I'll use a 154 in the park. Going with a wide is a great idea for your feet size. If your shopping for boots though, look at burton boots as they have a wider toe. I'm able to get my size 13 feet into a burton 12 because of their shape and I lose about a inch of toe drag. It's also a good idea to get bindings with adjustable toe and heal ramps so you can center your feet better.
