What side of a snowboard goes in front?
some snowboards it doesn't matter, but some snowboards have specific ends. the end of the snowboard that is slightly more raised from the ground than the other is generally the front. or the more rounded end goes to the back with the more oval shaped end at the front. but the biggest tell is the design on the snowboard. if you stand the snowboard up and the design, or any of the writing on the board is the right way up, then the top of the board is the front.

When was Salomon Snowboards created?
A seen in the movie Ski Patrol, in 1990 snowboarding was in. Mike Olsen built his first snowboard in his high school woodshop. He kept experimenting with snowboards until he dropped out of college in 1984 to form "Gnu". Once an article about the new snowboards were published in Powder Magazine, attention was brought to this new freestyle movement.
The first real ski technology for snowboards was introduced by Burton and Winterstick in 1980. Their new prototype had a P-Tex base. In 1982 the first international snowboard race was held in Suicide Six, outside of Woodstock, Vermont. The goal of the race seemed to be survival. The race consisted of a steep icy kamikaze downhill run, called "The Face".

Is a 156cm snowboard too small for a 6' 175lb guy?
As a general rule the length of the snowboard should be about 88% - 91% of your overall height, but this is generally regarded as a helpful guideline as opposed to any hard and fast rule (This should come in around your chin/mouth when the board is vertical against your body).
Ultimately it comes down to preference and riding style, but obviously the further you deviate from this range, the more "unorthadox" you are becoming. Riding on a board that is either way too long or short, will bring its own problems (i.e. a board that is way too long could may make it more challenging for the rider to turn competently, whilst a board that is way too short may cause stability issues). But a little outside these paramenter is not going to make a massive difference - again it comes down to experimentation and what length you feel comfortable on.
So here's the numbers based on the 88% - 91% guideline. Someone 6ft would be in the board length range of 161 - 166, based on these guidelines, so a 156 board would be considered too short, but bear in mind we are talking about 5cm short of this range at the bottom end of the scale (probably shorter than your little finger), so not disaster really. I am 5ft 10" so applying this range, my board should be between 156 & 162. I ride a 154 board, as that is what I am comfortable with. As is often the case in these conversations, comfort is far more important than "compliance" to any guideline, so just go experiment and enjoy the ride!!
