Size
Question
Hello, I am a 5 foot 6 inch girl who is about 118 pounds, how tall of a snowboard do i need?
Answer
Hi Lauren,
The rule of thumb for snowboard size is somewhere between your chin and your nose. If you are a beginner rider, go with the shorter size. With the board standing on it's tail, it should come to just under your chin. If you are an intermediate or advanced rider, you would probably want a board that would come to your nose or maybe just a bit longer. This rule of thumb usually works for most riders looking for an average board for all mountain riding. You will probably be looking for something between 145-155.
Hope this helps.
Keep on riding,
