Why is the weight on women's snowboards so low?

Why is the weight on woman's snowboards so low?

  • Every snowboard and site I look at, the weight range is from 90lbs to 165 lbs for woman's snowboards. I'm not really getting it... so if you're over 165 lbs, then ...show more

  • Answer:

    It is a matter of performance.. not durability. That weight ratio is for the optimum performance of that board. if you are a 230lb guy on a board rated for 165.. its not that the board will break (althoguh that chance increases) the extra weight will cause the board to wash out in fast turns and not handle as it was meant to. likewise lighter riders on a board rated for that 230 pound guy will not have the strength or weight to make the board react to maneuver as it was designed to. stay within your weight ratio if you can if you want the board to do what you tell it to without too much hassle

the reason for the sizing chart gose by the flex of the board and the reason for womans boards being so low in weight is because woman are noted to be smaller then men. and don't worry about it Im 165lbs and im riding a board thats ment for 140lbs and it works fine for me
