What size snowboard and bindings should i buy?

What size snowboard should I get if I am 5'9 and 160 pounds. Im also a beginner?

• I plan on buying my snowboard and bindings online but my boots in the store since its hard to buy the right size unless you try them on. Thanks!

• Answer:

  The board that will work the best for you also depends on what type of riding you are going to do (park or freeride/all mountain). Try this snowboard size calculator - it also gives some really good recommendations on what boards would suit your riding style: http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm A rough guess not knowing your riding preference would be 158cm - maybe a little longer board if you are still growing - I really would suggest a freeride board or an All Mountain board with some setback - that will usually make learning easier. My favorite brands are Ride, K2 and Burton for all mountain. I don't really ride the park much, but there I would say Lib Tech, Forum and K2. Good Luck
