Seen a lot of guys judge it like ski's ... make sure it comes up to your chin, but doesn't go above your nose.re: snowboard size
I'd agree with that - short board is easier to steer, long board is more stable at speed. So decide whether you're aiming at the half-pipe or the downhill
(If you're renting, you can take it back and change it)

Easiest way to figure it out is to remember which foot you used to lead with sliding on ice as a kid or which foot you put out to stop a fall. Only other tip is once on the board remeber your board will always try and follow where your front shoulder is pointing.
