• Answer:

  The board, when stood on end, should come to between your chin and your nose. The closer to your chin (the shorter is it) the easier it will be to maneuver (quick carving, tricks and such), the longer it is the betr speed you can get. Your toes should not extend very far, if at all, over the edge of the board. If they do, ask about getting toe raisers (if your toes while in boots hang too far over the edge, you will drag your toes, and this can possibly lift you off the snow a tad making the board harder to control on the toe side). A wider board will handle better and get up easier in good powder snow (as well as make it less likely your toes will hang over the edge). Hope that helps, and if I'm wrong on anything someone please step in. I've only been boarding a little while, so I could be wrong:)
