The size you need depends on a lot of variables. Use the attached link and include your ability level and type of boarding you are interested in...happy boarding...

If you're just riding powder, not hitting the park, then get at least a 165, 171 is probably ideal, not more than 173. This is assuming you're beginner/this is your first board. You should get a wide model. I'm the same foot size I prefer wide boards, altho there are some regular ones that dont give me drag, its just hard to find them and be sure. I like burton, I ride an older canyon (don't know if they make that model anymore). Try a Baron or King if u go with burton.

boards are selected by height and by what you want to use it for. for your first board just get something cheap but in decent condition. You want the board to be up to your chin when your standing. Your weight doesn't matter. After you buy one you can take it into a ski shop, especially at a smaller mountain, and ask the snowboard techs all kinds of questions. You can even do that before you buy. Just go to a retail shop, get fitted out and ask all kinds a questions about the equipment, like what things you want to consider when buying a board/bindings/boots and then go from there. Your first board is all about finding what you like

i would stay in the mid 160s for free ride and no lower than a 158 for freestyle/park riding. You will either need a wide model board or a set or riser plates like the Palmer Power Plus plates to eliminate toe drag. I'm 6'1" and 220lbs. and I ride a Burton Republik 166cm because of the stability at speeds. Hope this helps.

u are under weight. use the bmi( body mass index) to caculate your right weight.
