SNOWBOARDERS HELP!! PLEASE
I need to buy a snowboard off of EBAY, but I have NO idea what size board to get!! I'm 5'1" and my foot size is like a 7 or 7 1/2. PLEASE help me, because I need to order this board soon. (I've been snowboarding for like 3 years but I've never taken it seriously and I've been renting) Help!! PS- I don't want to go out to a Snowboarding Shop to get the answer. THANK YOU!

honestly its much better to buy the board in the store because you can stand on it and have someone help you but i do snowboard so i'll tell you some basics. measure the height from your chin down, that'll be the length. as for the width, you have a pretty average foot size so any width board will do but measure your foot, like with a ruler, and the board should be about an inch smaller than that. your toes and heels are supposed to hang off a tiny bit. i have a size 10 foot and it was hard finding a board. make sure you get a good brand like burton, ride or something well known. mine is a Spice (girls boards) and i absolutely love it. hope i helped a little.

you didn't say your weight... so check your weight (kg or lbs) and then you have your board length.
if you want a more specific answer theres the style of board- freestyle, freeride, back country heres the link
