Snowboards

 

What is the right snowboard size for you?
Choosing the right size snowboard can be a challenge, but it is essential to finding a board that fits your individual needs. To make the process simpler, consider four key factors: weight, height, ability, and riding style. Start by looking at the recommended rider weight provided by the manufacturer for each snowboard. Although this is only a suggestion, it can help you determine which boards are suitable for your weight. Remember that your weight, not your height, is the most critical factor in determining the right snowboard size.
When it comes to height, most rental places will size you up based on your chin to nose length, but it's essential to keep in mind that your weight, not your height, determines how the board will flex. If you're looking for a board for park riding, it may be helpful to choose a slightly shorter board for quicker turns and better control. On the other hand, if you prefer to ride in powder, a slightly longer board may be a better choice as it will help you float above the snow. We recommend a smaller board for the average Aussie rider compared to what would be recommended for someone traveling overseas.
