If you are after a freeride board and are 6' 2 you would be best going for a board at least 162 +, and if you have a size 11 shoe you would be better going for a wide board or a midwide board.
Ive listed some boards below which will suit the type of rideing you want to do.
Burton Bullet 164
Burton Royale 162 or 166
Burton Baron 162 or 167
K2 Nemesis 164 or 167
Solomon Patrol 163 or 167
Arbor roundhouse 163 or167
Ride Decade 162 or 165
Ride Yukon 163 or 168
Option Booter 163 or 167
If you are just starting off i would recomend going for the Bullet, the Decade or the Booter as they are more suited to the entry level rider but if you are fairly confident on a board look into some of the others ive mentioned. Also some boards the Ride Decade for example come in both wide and regular sizes, so its always best to check you,ve got the right width before you buy.

Get something that is no taller than his chin it will probably be somewhere between a 140-147... I would suggest a Burton board and bindings, All the boards and bindings I bought, including my first, were Burton Never had any complaints with any of my boards and they've all lasted me a good amount of time except for my park board that only last a little less than 1 season but it didnt break cuz of the faulty manufacturing it was becuase the way I rode. I would suggest the Burton Punch in 145... THey run for about 230. Good beginner board at will last him for a season maybe 2 unless he grows out of it. The smaller the board is better to begin with becuase its easier to control u wont need as much effort to whip it around. I would say go with the Burton Freestyle Jr bindings but they wont be necessary and they run for 75 so my suggestion would be to go to the store and check some out... u wont need to spend too much esp cuz hes a beginner.. does he like Step in bindings or strap in... go check otu the stores and see what he likes.. u can get a good pair for under and around 50 bucks and they will more than work for him.. but remember if u get step-in bindings u also have to get specific boots for those step ins.. so when he does decide to get new bindings he also needs to get new boots

go for something in the 160-165 range. with a size 11 shoe you may or may not want to consider a wide board

you have to look up each individual board. on the back of the board there is a sticker with a chart for weight and length of board. height does not play a role in determining board size. a board cannot tell how tall you are, only how much you weigh

Probably a Burton King in the low to mid 160s.
Thats what I would get.
