Help a girl choose her first board?

So I spent last week in the Three Valleys and started out the week skiing, decided the foot cramps weren't worth it and rented a snowboard with three days left. It ended really well and can't believe I haven't tried sooner. By day three I was linking turns all down red runs.
The rental place gave me a 'Burton Progression 130cm' board. I'm 5ft3/160cm and 120lbs/55kg so looking at size charts the board was clearly too small for me. It's not even an adult board it seems! The thing is, it worked really well for me and I liked the feel of having a short board as my turns were great and quick, and I'll never be one to try to get to any great speeds anyway.
I envisage I'll be about 110lbs/50kg by my next holiday in the alps but even with that weight I shouldn't be on a 130cm board is seems - but I really want to be!
Any advice? I would preferably like to buy a board just because. Is there any way I could get one as short as 130cm or near to that without snapping it? Not looking to go really fast remember!
Thanks in advance!
