Snowboard lengths are in Centimeters (cm) and 150cm to 155cm seems a little too long for you unless you are growing and want to grow into a board for a couple of years. You are probably right on the edge between a regular board and a wide board. If you needed a 165 you would be OK with a regular board (they get wider as they get longer) and if you needed a 145 you would need a wide board - it depends on the particular board you choose. Use a snowboard calculator: http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm If you are a new rider, an average board size for you would be about 147cm and with a waist (width) of about 252mm - so look for a board with those specs - if they are too narrow look at wide boards. I recommend the Ride Control or Ride Fleetwood (wide) for learning. Good Luck

Unless you have exceptionally bulky boots are a model of board that runs narrow, then no. A normal board will be fine. I have a size 10 boot (Salomon) and ride a 156 (Ride Prophet). It's not a wide board and I don't have any issues.
