text: snowboard size? i'm 5'3", 130 lbs, size 8.5 shoe, female, beginner.  what size board should i get?  just going down runs, not park.  one guy told me a 140, another told me 150.  what is correct?  also, can you recommend a good beginner's board? when you hold the board up to yourself  the top should be between your chin and the tip of your nose.
