snowboard size

After a fab snowboarding week in Bansko, I am looking to buy an all mountain snowboard in the sales, maybe a Rome Solution but I am getting conflicting information on the right size from different shops, can anyone help. I am 175cm tall slim and weigh 77 kilo at the most, I am told to either get 156 or 158 but which one is best? it won't be used in the park just cruising about.

Many thanks for any help.

sorry meant to say 67 kilo! didn't put that much weight on.

re: snowboard size

rule of them is you hould be able to place your chin on it without having to worry about tilting your head.

Ignore all this weight stuff. if your average size, just go with that idea.

Thanks Ben, I get told every size from under chin to eyebrow!

re: snowboard size

weight is more important as thats what transrers to your edges allowing you to turn.
