How tall a snowboard should I choose?

Question

I'm 5'3", and I'd like to buy a snowboard, but I don't know how tall I should choose the snowboard. Any advice???

Answer 1

I'm 5'11" and the size for me is a 158 or 157. If I were you, I'd be looking at a size from 150-152, But that's ballparked. The best thing to do is to go to a  snowboard shop and taking random board sizes off of the shelves and compare their height against yours. You want a board that is just below the chin. That's the general rule of thumb.

Answer 2

ok the only thing u have to know is what you are gunna' b using it for, park freestyle, or powder, then look for ur style or color, then get that board in a size that is up to your forhead(if you are young) or get 1 up to your nose(if u are older) so look for 1 inbetween there..

Answer 3

when you usually want to buy a snowboard, it should be at least as tall as your or nose.
