How big should my snowboard be?

you want to be withing the certain boards recomended weight range. Each board varies for what is recomended weight range. Length also determines stabuility factor at speed, while a shorter board is better for learning asd a beginer and is good at park (jumps boxes rails). I recomend just getting a board you will grow into. If you get a board at your chin height that would be a board that would last you forever given it isnt real flimsy. A flimsy board isnt good for much, excpet maybe for the first time. I recomend a board between your shoulders and your chin. Also, getting a longer board will alllow you to have really fun powder days, cuz it will give you good float, in that deep stuff!, aww yeh! powder days are nice but the snow gets used fast. Do researchand and also shop around, theres some deals at milosport.com right now. callem up and say maybe youd like a n intermediate board, it will last you longer.
