What size snowboard to buy?

  • What length snowboard should I buy? I am 5'7 or 5'8 about 130 lbs. and a girl, I just want to make sure I am buying the right size.. around 150-155 cm i am thinking? also, ...show more

  • Answer:

    Almost everything Larry D said is wrong. Height does matter. Longer boards don't mean you go faster, they're just better in powder. And shorter boards are better for freestyle (jumps, rails, etc.) Freestyle boards are NOT good for beginners at all. Freestyle boards are for the terrain park and I doubt that you will be in the terrain park as a beginner. Get a freeride board. They're for all-terrain and most importantly...powder. Also, Burton is not the most popular brand out there, they've just been around the longest. But yes, they are a good brand. Yeah thats a perfect size. I am about the same height and weight and I have a 152 cm. Some good brands are Gnu, Ride, Flow, Forum, Nitro, Burton, K2, Rome... Roxy is an okay brand too for a girl. Most of these brands are pretty expensive, but they should last a while depending on how hard you rip. Good luck.

Don't listen to that height thing everybody always tell you to. You height doesn't really matter. It's your weight that matters and what you going to use it for. If you want to go down a hill faster than get a bigger board, if you want to turn faster get a smaller one. You want to get a girl board and you probably want it to be a freestyle board since your a beginner. I personally like Burton. They cost a little more but they last a really long time. They are the biggest name out there. Other good brands are K2, Ride, Rome. If you go to a local ski shop they will tell you what size board you should get. It also tells you on the board itself(on the wrapper).
