Right Snowboard size for 5’6″ 110lb?
I am a beginner and I am about 5’6″ and weigh 110 pounds
I did the calculator for snowboard size for me and I got 141.
is that about right? or should i get something taller??
A 141 is pretty small of a deck for you, unless you like ultra short decks for park, I know people who do…But It really will depend on your riding style, If I was gonna pickout a freestyle size for you though I’d look in the 144-147 region, ALl-mount 148-151 and Freeride 152-155.
Freeride: longer in length, and semi-directional. Moderate to stiff in flex. Used for long, fast turns in various types of snow from groomed hard-pack to soft powder.
Freestyle: Generally shorter in length with a Semi-directional or twin-tip shape. Moderate to soft in flex. Incorporates a deep sidecut for quick/tight turning. Used in the pipe and in the park on various jumps and terrain features including boxes, rails, and tables.
All-Mountain: A hybrid between freeride and freestyle boards. The ‘jack of all trades, master of none.’ Normally directional in shape with either a twin or directional flex. Moderate in flex for various types of terrain.
Don’t just pick a board between your nose and chin that’s a rookie mistake
You need to take into account a few things your height,weight,riding conditions,riding style”all mountain,freeride,freestyle”,foot size and skill lvl
Once you get those nailed down you can narrow down your board genre and size, Generally people go largest on freeride boards for stable carving and float in pow, Mid range for an all mountain board and smallest for those park rats.
That is why just picking a board between your nose and chin doesn’t work and is a huge mistake, If I was looking for a more backcountry oriented board I wouldn’t just pick a board between my nose and chin cause I’d want extra length in the board to help for stable carving and float in pow, samething works for picking a board for the park/freestyle, I wouldn’t just pick a board between my chin and nose for it, I’d want to focus more on a shorter end board to help with maneuverability,butters and just dorking around on runs.
Some simple guidelines you can follow as well is remembering that the longer the board the more stable it will be for you during high speed carves and it’ll have an easier time floating in powder, the shorter the board the easier it’ll be to maneuver around and butter.
