I'm going to get a new snowboard and I'm a pretty experienced rider. I am 5' and 100 pounds. What size am I?

Question

I ride goofy and I ride all terrain but mainly park. I do rails, boxes and some jumps. When I'm not in the park I can do anything from bowls to glades and moguls. What length board should I buy and do you have any recommendations on what kind/brand of board?

Answer 1

I guessed that you were about a 5.5-6.0 shoes size; I'd put you in the range of 137-138 cm. Personally, I ride Burton and I love the brand.

Answer 2

As you probably know your bored should come up between your neck and nose, for boxes and rails (rails especially) you will want your bindings to be closer together so u have more balance and less teeter totter effect. You want it to have alot of flex to it too. My friend has this amazing Rossignol board that i love to ride, its a frestyle board and is pretty thin, so if u have long feet it may not be for you, but i'd check it out. I have an all mountain board, and it works fine in the park, but i prefer to ride  my friends board. (P.S her boards called a rossignol Zena)

Here's her board:

well if you are a fully grown adult than you should get a 135-140 but if you are a kid or teen and you're still growing (I'm guessing you are) than you should get a 140 or even as big as 145 cause you'll grow into it and it'll fit better at the end of the season or next year.

Answer 5

first of all ur range is about 136 to 139cm, But Your size depends on your style of riding. if you're a more aggressive rider ( Take more powerful turns, and like going fast), I would go towards the bigger side of ur range but if ur a more mellow rider on the trail is wood go with the smaller side of ur range. Also u said u like the park so if u go with a smaller size, it'll make spins easier off the kickers and u will have more control on boxes and rails.=) good luck ohh and if i wasnt right cuzz i dont no wat u look like... just make sure the board is shorter than your nose but above ur chin.
