Question

Since my last snowboard was stolen, my boyfriend decided to go out and get me a new one. He came home with a 149. Every size chart I've looked at said I should ride a 144. Is this really a huge difference? He seems to think it isn't but idk?

comments? answers?

Answer 1

no actually 5 cenemeters doesnt mean really anything. its weird. im sure you will be fine with it. its harder to spin with a longer lenghtier board however.

Answer 2

The question is; how big are you? How long have you been riding? What type of riding do you do? What type of board is it? What's your foot size?

Answer 3

Size charts don't really mean all that much.  How big was your old board?

5cm won't make a huge difference, at first you might find it turns differently (requires a bit more effort) and is faster but it's not a huge deal.  Shorter boards are better for park riders but if you're mostly doing slopes you'll be fine.

Check the tags on the board, it should have a weight range and as long as you're in it you're good to go.
