Is it ok if my snowboard is a couple inches lower than my chin?

Question

The suggested length of a snowboard is to reach your chin from the floor. Now my question is what if i have a snowboard that is a couple inches lower than the suggested? Would it affect the way that i ride?

Also do you know any good sites to purchase nice and cheap boards/boots/bindings?

Answer 1

yes it is ok but u can by gear at sprtchalet.com

Answer 2

It'll be good for park, pipe and groomed trails, but powder will take a little more leg work.  Check the-house.com

Answer 3

its OK it is supposed to be easier to learn snowboarding and it is more manuverable

Answer 4

if its for park it should be the right length. a park board should come to about your chin. if you want to do freeride you might want to get a larger board.

dogfunk.com has a good selection of board packages, not necessarily the cheapest but not bad.

just look around, play it again sports has nice prices, some even have board and bindings together packages.if you wanna buyonline  make sure you try on the stuff before ordering online and make sure the website has a return policy

good luck
