First time snowboarding today

[Chris.]

I'm 5' 10.5" tall. What size board should I look for? I'm thinking 150-155. I'm not sure what size the rental was, unfortunately. Is a longer board easier to turn with?

Thanks for all the great snowboard websites guys!

Depends which style of snowboarding you want to do. I ride a 159 and I'm 5'9".

But I enjoy fast speeds and tackling terrain versus the snowpark.
