  • Answer:

    Sizing a snowboard by height is wronggggg. You could between 148-156 cm, if you choose on the small end you may need a wide board. Check the waist width of the board and the length of your snowboard boots and see how much toe/heel overhang you'll have. Take into account what you're binding angles are as well - if your angles are 15/-15 then you'll have slightly less overhang than 0/0 because the boot is angled over the board. FYI boots usually overhang a little bit regardless you just want to be sure they won't drag on the snow when you carve. A smaller board will help with rails, jib, and initiating spins but will feel more unstable at higher speeds and landing bigger jumps, especially if it's a reverse camber board.

You can ride what ever size you want. Park id say around a 152 to 154. Try a reverse camber too. It'll allow for an easier butter on rails just dull down your edges when you get the board. Try something like the rome artifact or burton love.
