Problem with snowboard sizes for me?

Question

I am about 5"10 but my foot size is only 7. According to a website calculator, I need a board that is..

length: 152cm

waist width: 238-240cm

Do they even make mens snowboards with those dimensions? Should I experiment with women's snowboards? haha

Answer 1

it is a little narrow for a 152 but if your still growing then you'll be fine. if your foot size is a 7 i'd say you may be riding in 7.5 maybe even 8 boots (depends on thickness of liner) that will deff. help.

grab a 152....i think you'll be fine.

Answer 2

Small feet make your choice easier than big feet.  Choose the length that is right for your height and weight.  With small feet you don't have to go to a mid-wide or wide board - just stick with the regular sizes.  You could use a girl board if you like - there is no shame in that - you just have to live with the color and graphics. You don't have to though: the little extra waist width will not be a problem for you.

Answer 3

If you are 5'10 you can definitely go for a bigger board unless you are super skinny and weak.  

Better rule of thumb is a freeride board should come somewhere between your chin and nose.  Closer to the chin if you are lighter, close to the nose if you are heavier.  A freestyle board should be shorter, from below the chin to mouth.

But if you still want a shorter board most manufacturers make guys boards that are 152 or shorter.
