How to measure a snowboard size

Snowboard size is a critical factor that affects your riding experience. An improperly sized snowboard can make it difficult to control, turn, and stop. Use the following steps to determine the correct snowboard size for you:

  1. Measure your height. Stand up straight against a wall without shoes. Use a tape measure to measure from the top of your head to the floor.
  2. Determine your weight. Stand on a scale and weigh yourself without shoes.
  3. Use a snowboard size chart. There are many different snowboard size charts available online. Find a chart that takes into account your height and weight.
  4. Select a snowboard that is the appropriate length. The length of the snowboard should be between your chin and nose. If you are a beginner, you may want to choose a snowboard that is slightly shorter.
  5. Consider your riding style. If you are an aggressive rider, you may want to choose a snowboard that is longer and wider. If you are a more relaxed rider, you may want to choose a snowboard that is shorter and narrower.

Remember, these are just guidelines. The best way to determine the correct snowboard size for you is to visit a snowboard shop and try out different boards.
