Snowboard Size Calculator
Find the right snowboard size for your height and weight.
Board Length (cm) = Height (cm) × 0.88 + Style/Weight/Skill Adjustments
Example: 5ft 10in rider, 170 lbs, intermediate freestyle = 156cm board. All-mountain riding? Go 158-160cm for stability
How do I choose snowboard length?
Stand the board up - it should reach between your chin and nose. Shorter for freestyle/beginners, longer for freeride/powder. Weight matters more than height for float.
Why does boot size matter?
If the board is too narrow, your toes/heels will drag in turns (toe drag). Wide boards prevent this for larger feet but are harder to turn for smaller feet.
Should beginners get shorter boards?
Yes, shorter boards are easier to turn and control. As you progress, you can move to longer boards for stability at speed and better float in powder.
