According to your weight, which is more important than height when choosing a board, probably anything from a 148 to 154. Keep in mind, the shorter decks with more flex will be more forgiving while you're still a beginner, because they're easier to turn, but the longer, slightly stiffer boards will be better for carving once you've progressed a little and you ride steeper runs at higher speeds. Get something that's not so long and stiff that it impedes your learning, but not too short and soft that you can't grow into it a little.
A 150 or 152 with medium flex might be just right! And keep in mind waist width, as well. You don't want much overhang for your heel and toe, 'cause that will cause your toe/heel to drag on sharp turns. The only time this is really a factor is if you have really big feet. If you're a size 9 or so, most boards should be fine. Anything bigger, you might need a wide board.

149-152. I'm a girl and I'm 5'6" and I weigh about as much as you and I ride a 149 but you're a little bit taller. Make sure that you check the the width as well. The best place to go to find out your size is the riding calculator at frostyrider.com

You want a board that when you hold it tip to toe, it will come to just below your nose - that's for beginning rides. I'm guessing you'd want to start with the 135 - 142 range. Be sure to confirm with a sizing chart at your local store just to be sure.

there's no "established" except it quite is a micro phallus. consumer-friendly falls between 5-7. attempt and get some issues occurring your existence and end focusing on your penis. If it relatively is so small (do no longer decide whilst in comparison with adult adult males in porn), be a grasp at oral intercourse (i'm going to shout it from the mountains).

If you go to a store to look at the board, look at the different sizes. The board should be between your chin and nose. If you are heavier, you should get a longer board, if you are lighter, you should get a shorter board so it is easier for you to control.
