Now hit the slopes….
What size board do you intending on buying or what size board do you own? Do you just get any board based on how cool it looks? I hope not. I wouldn’t think you’d go out and get a board that’s two feet over your head nor a board thats below your waste, am I right? You already know some type of range that is reasonable but did you know that even a few inches will make a huge difference and for some experts just a few millimeters means either have a good day of shredding or a not so good one…
First of all, you need to know a little bit about yourself, you need to know what’s comfortable and reasonable. Another great idea is to know a little bit about how a snowboard is designed and it’s aerodynamics. I would suggest doing just a tiny bit of further research and just looking at the basics of how a snowboard is designed. It might really help you on selecting a board and what style board would work for you. There are three major skill level: beginner, intermediate and advanced/expert. All levels may require a different type, style and size board. The length of your board is so important! It can’t be stressed enough, because if you have the wrong size then it’ll be you who will be stressin’ on the mountain. We don’t want that, now do we?
If you have a long board, thats fine! We’re talking about a longer board than you need, thats not always the best….If its too long, than it will be so much harder to turn and carve, not too mention stopping. Oh my! It will be a learning curve to go over jumps again because the board might be heavier and it will be lengthier. On the plus side it is a tad bit more stable, but the point isn’t to be stable all your snowboarding life. The point of it is too fall, learn from it and get back up.
If your board is too short, your weight might be too much for it and your board might get out of control. You literally might spin out of control. If its not incredibly short but still short it will be much easier to turn, spin, jump and control but you still may not have total control of the board at times.
Some people actually prefer slightly shorter or longer boards, its a personal preference. *TIP*– Try renting boards before you buy a new one or your first one. Its worth the money to rent and find a length that you enjoy and can handle before you buy one that may not work…at all.
Boards just don’t go by length, they go by level, weight, style, design, flexibility, material, price and width. Yes, width is another great contributing factor. Have you ever tried snowboarding on a ski? Maybe but I don’t think it works out to good. Huh? If your boots hang off your board too much, you may be in some trouble. Your boots will get stuck in the snow and it will be hard to carve and turn as your toes will dig into the snow. If you’re a heavier person, getting a wider board will benefit you also. *TIP*–If you already own a board and your boots hang off a little more than you like, try adjusting the angle of your boots.
*TIP*–Usually the more expensive the board, the higher quality. Don’t get the cheap ones just because of their price. Usually for a little more money, the board you’ll get will go the extra mile for you.
So What’s My Size?
The size of your board depends on your height and weight. Most people depend just on your weight but it should be around your nose in height also. Snowboards go by centimeters. It really depends on feel and there’s no definite answer. All I can say is that YOU NEED to make sure it is the right size for you, check out some sizing charts or even a snowboard calculator (they help, they put all kinds of factors into it so you can get a good size board).
So in Conclusion:
- Snowboards depend on weight and height and its important to talk to a professional to get the right size for you
- If a board is too tall or too short, snowboarding won’t be in your favor.
- If you just want to ride down the mountain with some speed, a tad bit longer board would be best.
- A tad bit shorter board will be best if you want to do tricks.
- Get a wider board if you have big feet or if you are a heavier person.
- Get the right size so instead of falling down the mountain you can carve down it with ease!!
