How many cm long should a snowboard be for a 5'11" male?

I am about 5' 10" ish and I ride a 150 something (I think it might be in the mid 150's) ...I cant remember exactly, but round down if you need to, because a shorter board means better control.
 
The rule of thumb is based on weight and riding style not height. What's the riders skill level and preferred type of riding (i.e. freestyle, free-riding, carving)?

For instance, I'm 180lbs. I'd use a 161 for free-riding and a 154 or so for freestyle riding.

For a beginner @ 175lbs, I'd say rent a board in the 150-154 range. But it also depends on the board.

 
I thought this was going to be some naughty parody thread or something...

😱
 
I'm 6'5" and I own a 162cm board.

There is no hard rule. Shorter board...easier to manuver/learn. Long board...faster/more stable.

I concur.

Nothing shorter than 130cm, and probably not longer than 165cm and he should be fine.

Are you buying or renting? If you're buying, I highly recommend Never Summer boards. They are NICE.
