Does weight matter when buying a snowboard? If the range is 145lb for a board and I weigh 148lb does it matter

Answer 1

Dont worry about the weight stuff dude. I just set my buddy up with a burton blunt 147 and it said the weight max was like 140, my friend is like 170. Your not going to break a snowboard< THey are built to last. If your jsut starting out get a deck that goes up to your atoms apple. Thats should make learing eaiser

Answer 2

Snowboards sizes are based on your height, weight, and the type of snowboarding you will be doing (eg people doing jumps and tricks will want slightly shorter boards).

A 3lb difference won't matter :)

I'd recommend you go to a store and talk with a salesperson, especially if this is your first time buying a board (rather than buying online)
