Hi. I am 5' 7'' and i have 240 lbs. How long of a board should i buy. I dont do any tricks or freestyle. I just ride down the mountain. When i rented a board they always gave me a 155 cm board. I was looking at a 161 cm board but i think it is too long. can someone help me please.

Usually one that comes up to your nose.
Acutally, I'm the same size as you. I used a Burton Canyon 157cm. It's a little wider than usual which worked out great in the fresh pow.

You are right - a 155 cm board is way too small. I would say between a 158 and 161cm board - look for a siffer board.
Good Luck
