Answer:
well,my snowboard is a little longer than it should be as i like to do tricks, but i got it long, and im 13 so i dont want to grow out of my board fast as it was a lot of money, i weigh 135 -140, and im like 5'4'' muscular, if you are doing tricks, i would suggest a shorter board, if your only going to do down hill i would suggest a long board, i have a burton 155 talon wide board, i have 11.5 size shoe so i got a wide board,i would suggest a wide board for your shoe size also. as terry said, i also have lifters on my bindings, to prevent my boot from draging. good luck on the slopes!

it should come up to your chin at the smallest, and to your nose at the tallest. or you can just ask the guy at your local sport shop.

There are several things to consider. Most manufacturers list weight ranges for each size within a particular model so check those when shopping for a new board. If your height and are proportional, you can follow the general rules of sizing. Normally between your chin and nose, but that is just a general rule if you are height / weight proportional. If you are heavier, get a longer board - if lighter, get a shorter board. Where do you like to ride? A shorter board will be easier to make quick turns in the park but won't ride as nice at higher speeds out on the runs. If you have size 11 or larger, you will probably need a "wide" board - you don't want your toes and heels to drag when turning. If you are right at size 11 like many of us, put your boots on the board and see how far they hang over. You can get bindings with "lifters" built in that lift your boot higher off the board and prevent your boot from touching in most conditions. Good Luck

Well, in general, your snowboard should be as tall as about your nose. A little shorter if you are into rails and jumps. So if you just like to ride, I would reccomend a 156-158. If you are into terrain parks and such, a shorter board would be better such as a 152-155 Hope this helps you out. =]
