Board length

I have a question regarding board length. Do you determine board size by your height? Weight? Both? I can't seem to get a straight anwser from the guys at the board shop. I'm 5'10 which is pretty tall for a girl so it's difficult to determine what size I should get. Also, do I necessarily need to get a "womens" board? Or would a guys board be better for me because of my height? Thanks for your help!

A combination of height and weight really. The Board Finder on the front page will recommend you some boards based on your information.

But basically, as a 5-10 female you probably should go for a 134-138 cm board. No, you don't need to get a women's board. They're often just old normal board shapes with "softer" graphics.

that would be a good idea if you dont plan to go inverted. But if you do then you need one to fit you
