1Adult Snowboard Sizing Chart
How do you pick the correct snowboard length? The length of y
our snowboard will vary depending on your body weight and the
nt you stand next to the snowboard and if the top
type of riding you plan to do. Back in the day, traditional snowboard sizing mea
hits your chin, great, it fits! While that may be a good place to start, weight is also very important factor in determining the
appropriate board length. And another important consideration is the type of riding you plan on doing.
So, for example, if you are going to be mostly freeriding consider getting a slightly longer board for more stability and
speed. If it's a freestyle tool you are looking for, consider smaller sizes that will be easier to spin and maneuver in the
terrain park or half-pipe.
Remember, the length is as much personal preference as anything, so don’t get too hung up if you like a longer board or a
shorter board. Need a starting point? Use the Snowboard Size Chart below.
