What is the best women's freeride snowboard height for someone who is 5'3" and 120 lbs? Best snowboard?

Answer 1

The board to the chin method doesent work for all people. For example take two people of the same height but one is 100lbs and the other 150lbs would they really suit the same board?. For your weight and height for a freeride board go for around a 149. Some good freeride boards that you should check out are

Apo Abyss

Rome Blue

Salomon Lark

Elan Sense

Arbor Push

Nidecker Princess

Roxy Envi

O-Matic Benatar

If you are a new rider you might be better off with an All mountain board thats more towards the freeride side of things rather than a freeride percific board. As most freeride boards tend to be for advanced riders who can handle riding at very high speeds and if you are a new rider you will struggle riding that type of board, Good luck.

Answer 2

rule of thumb.  if the board measures up to your chin, its perfect.  I think with your height and weight that should be perfect.

maybe it should be rule of chin.  

148 or 149 should be about right.
