Snowboard Reviews Home > Snowboard Sizing Finding out the correct snowboard sizingSnowboard sizing is a big question when people first start learning to snowboard and even bigger when they go to purchase a board. Here we will give you a basic guideline for choosing the size of your snowboard. Before everything else, you must understand that there are 3 basic characteristics that determine snowboard sizing The length of a snowboard is measured in centimeters and can be classified into three categories: short, medium, and long. Although it sounds very obvious, each category has different characteristics when it comes to the speed and maneuverability of the board. A short board would be one that comes up to around your collar bone to your chin when standing it up on end. A medium sized board would come up to about your nose and a long board can extend beyond the top of your head. The general rule is that as a board gets longer, it becomes harder to maneuver while achieving a higher top speed. Next in snowboard sizing Last but not least in snowboard sizing is the flex of the board.The flex of the board refers to its stiffness with a higher rating usually meaning stiffer. Although the flex is not actually a size with a corresponding value, it is still very important when choosing a board. For heavier riders, a higher flex is recommended so that the board doesn't bend as easily when riding. One thing to remember is that these are just general guidelines on snowboard sizing and personal preference will heavily influence your choices. But if you are a beginner and don't have a clue as to what size board you should be riding, this guide offers you a good idea.
