How do I choose the right skateboard size for my height and skill level?

Hey everyone! I'm new to skateboarding and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the different board sizes out there. I’m around 5'8" and just starting out. I've seen some boards that look wider and longer, while others are shorter and narrower. I’ve heard that the size can affect my balance and how easy it is to learn tricks. Can anyone share their thoughts on how to choose the right size? Should I go for something standard for beginners, or does my height and weight play a big role in this decision? Also, if you have any personal experiences with different sizes, I’d love to hear what worked for you! Thanks in advance for your help!
