Well let me be the first to say welcome to frostyrider.com :)If you stick with the waist width/boot size from the calculator, you should be fine with the snowboard. As for the bindings, u should be fine for the most part, however in order for everything to be like ideal, you gonna have to adjust the bindings straps and stuff every time you rent a different binding. If i were you id consider investing in some bindings. Theyre long lasting and you can get a decent pair for around $100. Seasonl rentals might help also.As far as board length, a shorter ride willl be tad bit easier to turn and especially better for freestyle spins and stuff. Lil longer is more speed carving kinda. But between like 159 and 160 it doesnt matter lol. It also depends on the board itself cuz every board has a different sidecut and stuff like that depeneding on what its designed to do basi

As for width for the most part you want to go for as narrow as possible usually cause its just better for turns. However, it cant be too narrow because you dont want toe or heel drag. That is when your boots are hanging too far(more than an inch or so, could some one correct me on that) of the side of your ride.Were here to help. 😉 lol
