Boards
Snowboards come in many different lengths, and there are several different factors to consider when choosing the length of a snowboard. When choosing a snowboard length take into consideration your height, weight, where you ride, and the type of riding that you do.
In most cases, when the board’s tail is on the ground the board should reach somewhere between your upper chest and your nose.
(Your height in inches x 2.54 x .9= Board Length.)
Below is a sizing chart to better help you choose the board with the right dimensions for you. Understand that board length is very much a personal preference and that these numbers are by no means set in stone. The lengths stated are for packed snow and can be increased by 3cm-9cm if you are riding in powder. To work out your weight in pounds remember 1 stone = 14 lbs
