What size snowboard is appropriate for a petite girl?

What size snowboard does a 6 foot tall 170 pound girl need?

• Answer:

  Height and weight don't so solely determine the size snowboard you should ride, but it gives us a range of board to choose from. Every snowboard has a desired rider weight range. Ideally you want your weight to fall into the center of the weight range. For example, the snowboard I ride is a 157. The weight range on my board is from 140-180 pounds. I weigh 160lbs, which falls perfectly in the board's weight range. Weight is more important than height; height just helps compliment your weight. It is more important to have a snowboard designed for your weight, than having one in between your chin and nose. Refer to our weight charts below. In your case, I think a size 159 to 161 will work just fine.
