yes i board, and i'm a bit appalled at the advice that's been given so far in this thread. if u are lookin for a board the most important thing to consider is ur WEIGHT, NOT height. how will the board know how tall u are? it will only matter how much u weigh so u can properly turn it.
tell me ur weight and height and i can give u some sizes u can try, it will also matter what type of snowboarding u are lookin to do (all mtn freeride or play in the parks freestyle).
