Snowboard Length/Width

WOW! Snowboarding is so cool!
But make sure to choose the right size when you pick your board. Let us help you determine your snowboard length/width...

How to Determine Snowboard Length?

Snowboard Length by Body Height:
Body height can be used to determine your correct snowboard length. Stand with your back against a wall and your feet together. Look staight forward. Place a book or a ruler on the top of your head and push it against the wall (make sure it is hoizontal). Measure distance from the floor and up to the book/ruler, etc. Use the Snowboard Length Chart below to determine your correct snowboard length.

Snowboard Length in the Boardshop:
Going to a snowboard store? Grab a snowboard, and place it in front of you. It should roughly reach your chin area. But everything between your nose tip and your sholders is OK. For faster snowboarding, choose a longer board (closer to your nose tip). For freestyle snowboarding, choose a shorter snowboard (closer to your shoulders). If you are a beginner, you should not choose a too long board (right at your chin or just below your chin is fine!)

Snowboard Width:

Snowboards come in different widths. But what width to choose?

The optimal snowboard waist width depends on your shoe size. Your shoes shall hang slightly over the edges of the snowboard, but the should not hit the snow when the board is on the edge. To help you find your correct snowboard width, we have made this snowboard width chart chart...
