Hey Ting the jump between and is a lot, we recommend closer to the tho so try and get out to demo or rent something around that size to see if it feels comfortable. What size board would you recommend for her. She is also a beginner. Is too long for me?
Hey Kate cm is right around where we recommend but try and demo or rent a board at your local shop or mountain to see if it suits the way you ride. I board best with a shorter board after an injury. What is smallest board that you would suggest. Hey Alex Starting off with a lesson can really help you set your foundation for snowboarding with good habits so we recommend that with the bonus of a good instructor will be able to help you with board selection, if you rent something to start out you can easily change sizes but we suggest starting around the cm length.
Hi Riley, I am cm and 65 kg max weight, tendency is to be somewhere between 60kg and 63kg. Currently I have a Burton bought 16 years ago which is cm so it reaches somewhere between the nose and eye line. I am going to buy a new board this year. The shop recommended a DC Having in the model name means it is only available in that size.
Looking at every chart, both weight, as well as height or combination of both, it seems that this board is too long for me. The board seems awesome and it weighs so much less than my current board but I am afraid to spend so much money if it is not the right one for me. Please advise. Hey Shakeel Ask the shop if you can take it out for a demo or if they can DC to send on in for a demo, they will often be able to.
Whatever new board you get a new board will be amazing compared to something from 16 years ago. I am a beginner and looking to purchase a board. Hey Aisha Try start around something cm and if possible start with a lesson as a beginner an instructor can really help you on choosing a board.
Do you have any suggestions? Hey Regina Try looking around cm, buying boards as a gift can be really difficult as people can like a lot of things so sometimes it can be good to let him have some input before purchasing, or try get a demo of the board you are thinking about. Hey Tim At Hey Stephanie We would recommend starting you search around cm, as a beginner an instructor can help a lot with base principles and choosing a board that would work for you. Hi JJ, a wide board will help a lot with toe and heel drag with that size of foot.
For sizing it comes down to what you like and are most comfortable with. What size board do you recommend? Hi Ryan, it depends on the type of riding you like to do. Although if you can we would suggest demoing a couple different sizes and your local shop to see which one you like better. Hey Kevin Yeah — is probably a good spot to be looking, try demo or rent a few options and just get stoked on being back out there.
I want to get the capita paradise but only the is suitable for size 8 boots. Hey J cm is for sure suitable for someone of your size, try and get out there to demo or rent it as your light it might be hard to flex the board enough to give the best performance but the only way to know is to ride it and remember a board will soften the more you ride it.
Hey thanks for your helpful article! Hey Sarah Yeah we are still here and trying to help out. The main question is are you happy with the ? With your weight you might be looking for a softer board to be able to give it the flex you need. If your was too much to handle in certain situation try the for your size and height that should still be big enough to hold a strong edge.
Been on a board. What should I go up too? Hey Rachael We recommend looking around the cm size, stepping up around 6cms will feel like a lot the first few days so really focus on your technique to be keep yourself in control but you should begin to feel the edges hold better through your carves. Wondering what size board i should get.
Tried a and it felt sluggish compared to a a couple weeks back. Thing is the boards i want that are say boot size max is 9. Dont know if the reason it felt sluggish was size difference or the board itself since it was a cheap off resort rental. Hey Nicolas I would wonder about how different the two boards are, we always recommend riding a board if possible before purchasing as maybe the was just not the board for you.
Hey I am 5ft tall and pounds and I recently bought a snowboard that is about 5ft 1in tall is this too big for be or will I be able to keep it under control? Should I get the or ? Just wondering if thats a good size for me, should I also get a wider board cus my boot size is Lmk thanks. Hey Jake With a size 12 boot look into the wider boards rather than the longer if you are happy with the , most board companies publish guidelines on what size boots go with a regular or wide width board for their range.
Hi wondered if you could advise on the right snowboard length for me. I ride groomers for carving but am not starting to learn buttering skills. My ride helix is cm and I find it real tricky to flex. So thought a few cm shorter would be good but dont want to loose loads of stability carving. My height is 1. Being a beginner it can be good to demo or rent a number of boards to get the feeling of what works for you personally.
Was looking at a , or a I know a shorter board is better for me to master the basics, but I want to keep using the board up until intermediate. Have any words of advice? Thanks so much!! What should I get? Friends may have boards that you can jump on and hike a little patch of snow as stay home restrictions start to open up but it is going to be harder to take advantage of those deals right now. Some say go shorter while others say go longer. Hey Elaine The stiffness of a board is independent of the length, although a longer board will be more stable, we suggest your measurements would be around a cm board where are you at the moment?
Hi Nancy We suggest starting looking around cm, sales are hard as we always suggest trying to demo or rent a board before purchasing a size is only one of the considerations when purchasing. I have size 9. The borrowed board I have at the moment is Tough situation to buy a board now without testing but if you have the board picked but are worried about width get in touch with Jones. They should have specifics on what size they make the wide for.
I would guess a 9. I am an intermediate rider and was just wondering if you could recommend me a snowboard size that would be good for powder and groomed trails but mainly fresh powder. Also if you have any recommendations for a specific board that comes in my size that would be great.
What board should I get? Not a beginner, but not yet an intermediate rider. I stick to green and blue groomers. Is a W ok for me? An 11 is close to a wide but does depend on your setup so talk to your local store about if you need that wide or a regular width in the boards you are looking at. Hey Brittney A is smaller than we would recommend, this might be ok depending on how you ride but could be a problem to push strength through your carves, have good balance and especially in powder.
Taking a lesson and talking to the instructor about your board might be a good next step. Hey Caruso If you really want that board then trying to demo or test it before riding it is best as it might not ride for you as you have seen in reviews as everyone rides differently.
Going shorter for a park board is great for spinning faster but worse for more speed and landing larger jumps so it depends on what kind of park you ride as this is on the shorter side of what we recommend for someone your size. Hi, I have a question, I am cm tall, lbs, and have size 9 K2 Lewiston boots.
What size snowboard should I get? Hey Darin We recommend starting to look around cm, every board and person rides differently so if possible demo or rent before you buy or take a lesson and talk to an instructor about gear while taking a lesson. Hey Riley! Really appreciate your thread. The board is a Burton Hideaway What do you recommend? You may also find that processing your riding takes more effort with a bigger board and late in the afternoon you get lazy and then the board feels big but with strong legs on a powder day you can power through your turns.
When starting renting different boards can help for you to understand what you need. However, I noticed that their is a weight column. Currently I hover around lbs. My son is We got a used cm -is that way too big and unmanageable? Would rather not buy something smaller for just a year or two… thank you for your help! Hey Bethany It depends on strength at that age, we see a lot of value in lessons or coaching, especially for young riders and they will often see if a board is too big, limiting progress or just making the riding less fun than we can with numbers.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks! Lessons are also useful for newer riders to build up those basics. What do you think and is there anything you would suggest or am I still good? Hey Kevin Just starting there are a lot more things to look at than just size of a board so demoing or renting different options, taking a lesson and talking with a coach may help make those decisions more than just a size. I fit into their size chart in terms of weight… 2 seasons experience.
Level: Intermediar. Hey D. Havent been boarding in about years but i have plenty of experience. Hey Chris Boards have changed dramatically in the last couple of decades so try and demo or rent a few boards to see what is new and you like but I would start looking around cm, with your weight look towards the stiffer boards.
I am looking for boards for my 3 kids and they are all beginners. Hoping you can help me with sizing. Hey Deanna Gender is not the biggest concern of board size, strength, especially in growing kids can determine which boards to get so this often helps to work with a coach, instructor or someone instore to get the best experience. She is a beginner and I want to surprise her with a board.
What size should I get? Hey Lois Surprises are awesome but boards are also very personal so with her size, I would start around cm but if it makes sense starting with a demo or rental can help to find out if that one is the right board and also has a physical surpirise.
I am a intermediate rider and an instructor. I do most powder and all mountain riding and am curious as to what size snowboard i would need because if my height to weight ratio.
Hey Justus We would suggest starting looking around the cm, Possibly with something stiffer for your weight. Hey Cody lbs is above our usual recommendations so start with the and see how that feels, try a demo or rent first as stiffness is probably more of a concern than length for you situation.
Hey Steph We recommend somewhere about cm. Will that still work now? From core materials to final wax, watch how a snowboard gets made in a factory.

So does that mean one snowboard, or two? A lot! I used to carry two boards on every trip I made. I wanted to try something more freestyle oriented, so I added the Rome Agent, and carried two. The Agent became a Ride Kink, so I found myself carrying a short jib board and a long, freeride board.
I had the bases covered. There are a whole range of boards out there that have a single goal in mind: to do it all. I traded two boards for one. The Nitro T2. If you spend more time in the park it is helpful to size down slightly to make quicker turns, faster spins and have more control while buttering through boxes and rails.
If you prefer chasing powder and traveling overseas you may want a slightly longer board. The added surface area will help you float above the snow much like a surfboard in water.
