| What Size Snowboard Do I Need? Snowboard Sizing & Measurements |
Simple Snowboard Sizing Explained
You must first evaluate your height and weight when choosing on which size snowboard to purchase. Snowboard lengths are measured from tip to tail in cm (not inches). Standing a snowboard upright and measuring the height to your chin can give you an idea of the length you'll need for snowboard sizing.
If the board length is between your chin and nose, it is most likely within your size range. This strategy was successful for many years when most snowboards had the same profile and form. Because of the various form variants and base profile possibilities available for snowboards nowadays, your body weight plays a larger role.
Also, your boot size will decide whether or not you require a wider board. Snowboards are available in a variety of widths, and if you have a huge foot, you will want a broader board. A broad board is normally required for someone wearing a size 11 or larger. Snowboard widths are measured between the bindings at their narrowest point.
The majority of brands will measure this in millimeters. A broad board is one that has a waist measurement of greater than 255mm. You should also consider the sort of riding you prefer, since this plays a significant influence in selecting the proper snowboard. A bigger board is recommended if you prefer carving, freeriding, or powder skiing. If you're a beginner or enjoy freestyle and park riding, you should consider getting a shorter board.
