Answer 2

It also depends on some other things you didn't list like what kind of riding you do (freestyle, runs, etc), what experience you have, how big your feet are, etc.

Brand suggestions:

Freestyle: Rome, Gnu, K2, Lib Tech

All Mountain: Ride, K2, Nitro, Burton

About 145 - 150cm depending on what you are looking for. This calculator will also give you some suggestions:

Answer 3

the board should measure somewhere between your the top of your lip and your forehead. The longer the board the easier it is to control. If your just starting out I would go for the longer board. I'm 5'6" and I go with a 159 but since I'm a 200 lb. guy I'm moving up to a 161cm. as far as the websites go they didn't seem to work cuz it was telling me to go w/ a 155. That would've been way off. I got my info and tips from a couple of sponsored boarders out in Colorado

Answer 4

you have to demo some to think of which one is right for you. to see which is tall enough I often hold it up to my chin and that is how I tell it is about the right length. it also depends on if you want stiff or soft or all mountain or park.
