Need some help on the correct size snowboard?

Need a size for a snowboard!!! PLEASE HELP!!! =)?

  • I'm 15, want a board that'll last a while, I'm about 5' 3" and 115, and a female, what size of a board do I want....also, it's for free ride, not free style ...show more

  • Answer:

    Never Buy Burton. Its a popular brand but they are junk! if you want it to last a while I'd buy one a little big but not too big. I'd look at a 145 or a 148cm. I have been riding for 11 years and 4 of those years have been sponsored by a local board shop and a local snowboard terrain park. I have had many boards and have found what I like the best is the Rome Agent. very flexible and fun to ride all over the mountain. but it is really up to you but size wise I'd go 145-148cm. good luck and have fun!!

I would recommend a Nitro Mystique. I rode one for 3 seasons (40-60 days/nights per season) and it is still a good board. It is not delaminating anywhere and still has plenty of life in it. It is more forgiving than some of their stiffer boards so it is good for learning to intermediate skill levels. They are just as good or better than Burton boards and cheaper. You can probably find an older model online pretty cheap. They are a good quality board that will last for several seasons. I would recommend a 142-145 cm based on your weight/height. You should check out Nitro's size chart recommendation though as I'm not an expert. The company is still owed by the same people who started it and they make quality products. I have 3 Nitro boards and my nieces have each had 2. We've never been disappointed.
