With a size 11 boot, you can probably ride either a wide or regular board because you are right on the threshold of a wide anyway. I'm not very familiar with the boards you have chosen, but if you get some stats on them, we can start pointing you in the right direction. Can you get the actual width and/or flex of the boards? Also do you plan on doing all park, or just jumps/just rails? I think you will be fine with a 156, it should ride basically the same as the 155. Some companies do only odd sizes and some only do even, some do both. If you are learning, shorter and more flex should make things easier especially learning park 🙂 If you plan on learning big kickers you need to think about a stiffer board, but if its medium jumps and rails that interest you, you should stay on the softer side (flex 1-4).Hope this helps, get back with any additional info yo

Sorry about the delay, Christmas is making things a bit hectic. Hopefully Frosty will be able to weigh in on this post as well. 🙂
