Question about Snowboarding Heigth and Weight for new Board?

Question

Hey All, Thanks for the help. I just bought a 159 Wide Burton Custom X, Im just a litle over 6'1 and weigh between 170-175. I like to ride all over, park, basic terrain, backcountry etc. Basically all mountain. I'm a little worried its a little short, however the next step up is a 164 Wide. The custom X is a pretty stiff board and I dont weigh alot, do you think I made the right choice? Would really appreciate the help. By the way, im riding it with Cartel bindings and burton Hal boots. Thanks

Answer 1

I don't think that is too small at all. True you are tall for that board (it is probably well below your chin) but size depends more on weight and where you ride and that board is right between Freestyle and All Mountain sizing for your weight.
