Choosing the right snowboard size is essential to get the best experience from your shape. The correct size depends on several factors including your weight, height, riding style, and skill level.
Weight
Your weight is the most important factor when selecting a snowboard size. Each board has a recommended weight range for optimal performance. Please refer to our individual snowboard sizing charts for more information.
Height
Height is a secondary factor but still plays a role. A general guideline is to stand the board upright next to you; it should typically reach between your chin and nose.
Riding Style
- FreeStyle: Go for a shorter board for better maneuverability and easier spins.
- FreeCarve: A medium length is versatile for various terrains.
- FreeRide: A longer board provides stability at high speeds and in deep powder.
- Powder: Opt for a longer, wider board with a rocker shape to stay afloat.
Riding Style
- Beginner: Slightly shorter boards are easier to control and maneuver.
- Intermediate: A mid-range size for versatility.
- Advanced: Go for a size that matches your style, whether it's shorter for tricks or longer for stability.
Boot Size
Larger feet (usually over US size 11) may need a wide board to prevent toe and heel drag.
