How to Choose the Snowboard Size | Snowboard Size Guide | SkatePro

Choosing the right snowboard size is crucial when you are trying to find the perfect snowboard for you. The size has a significant impact on the riding characteristics of your snowboard, so stay tuned for a video with expert advice on choosing the right snowboard size.

Our expert, Jacob, explains why body weight and riding style are two of the most important factors to consider when selecting the right snowboard length.

THE RIGHT SNOWBOARD LENGTH
► Old-school method: The snowboard standing right in front of you should reach between your chin and nose when standing tall.
► New and preferred method: The right snowboard length determined based on your weight. Most snowboard brands provide a model-specific size guide based on the user weight, nowadays.

SNOWBOARD WIDTH: STANDARD VS WIDE
When it comes to the snowboard width, always make sure to have enough space for your boots and bindings. Following the guidelines in this video will definitely help you to make a more informed decision when you are on the hunt for the world’s best snowboard for you.

A rule of thumb for choosing the best snowboard width:
► STANDARD - if you have a boot size US10 and below
► WIDE - if you have a boot size US11 and above

I always have a tough time with the size being built like a running back. At 5’8, 225lbs the height recommendations are like 154 but the weight recommendations are like 164

Most sites recommend 158-162 but im looking at a shorter 156 Capita Outerspace living. Skill level: beginner- intermediate.

[abedjeancharles]

Im 6’1 and 225 lbs lean and I’m thinking of purchasing a 162 board is this a good length ? I rode a 160W and a 161 last season.

[botchy]

I’m a little bit over 6 foot 3 but I only weigh around 155, what size board would you recommend

[tyehannon]

I’m 6’1, 175 pounds, shoe size 11. If I get a board that’s 158cm should I try to find a wide model for boots/bindings or will a 158 be wide enough to begin with?

[optikzofficial]

I’m 6’1, 220 lbs should I get a 155 cm or 160 cm..? I’m a size 10 US shoe what size boot should I get?

[MojitoWithASmile]

Hi, I just purchased a new yeasayer Burton (flat rocker) board. I am 160 cm and I weigh 60 kg. The board size is 140 cm so it is right up or even just a little bit above my chin.
It is my first board so I wasn’t aware there is a chart based on the weight. I saw it when I got home and it says that the 140 cm is for 36-54 kg, so basically I am 6 kg ´fatter’. Is that a problem? I don’t even know if I can return it because I bought in on sale with 50% off but now I am super disapponited… thanks for the advice.

[The_Real_Grandpa_Joe]

Hi, I am 6 feet, 163 lbs ish, I want to get into all mountain board (specifically directional twin), size 11.5 shoes, what size board do I need, I’m getting different charts so not sure. I also read for directional twin it would be smart to size down 2-3 cm from my appropriate size . Any chance you can give me a final size considering the 2-3 size down (if that’s good advice I read), Thank you in advance

[fideltorres]

I’m 5’7, 170lbs, would a 155cm work for me ? I’m currently riding at 152 doa. But I’m very curious to try the 155… any advice ?
