  1. It depends on several things: height, weight, type of riding, and experience - most likely in the low 140's.

    Use a snowboard length calculator:

    Good Luck


  2. vicki vicki vicki, don't do the chin rule. it works sometimes but isn't that accurate. most people use it as that's how they were first measured up but it's what loads of rental places use to get you in and out of their shops asap. most decent places will take your height but mainly weight into account as you could get a fat bloke the same height and end up with the same board even though it's not suitable. I recommened a site like;

  3. Never buy a board based on height.. it's all based on weight!

  4. up to your chin while u are standing straight up

  5. about a 140-145cm depends just get a tape measure and measure up to your chin

  6. Chin high is a good rule of thumb, depends on your ability level and type of riding you do.  Long boards truck, short boards suck.

  7. Well it depends on your weight, how much you will grow during the duration of the time you are using the board and what type of snowboarding  your planning on doing. If your planning on riding park a lot, go for a around a 145 but if your going to be riding powder go for around a 151. If your not sure, a 148 would be perfect. If you think you are going to grow, then get about 5 cm's more than what is listed above for your riding style. Weight come into play because the smaller the board, the less weight it can safely carry. Always check the board's statistics for weight and make sure you fit within the range.

    P.S. Also make your not going to need a wider board. People with feet size 11 and over often need a wider board to prevent their toes from draging or catching the snow while turning
