Just come back from my local snow boarding shop with a brand new board and bindings. However im not sure if the board is the correct size for me. The shop dude said it would be fine but im having doubts

Its a 155cm board and im 5ft 9 and 15 stone. (i don't play rugby i just like food)

My old board is a 161 but it was second hand so it wasn't sized for me anyway.

What do you guys think?
