What size board should a beginner snowboarder use???

Question

I am a beginner snowboarder and I am wondering if I should use a board that is shorter or longer.

I know the affects of both.

Answer 1

I'd say get it a tiny bit smaller. Here's a sizing chart in case you need one. Good luck.

Answer 2

a short board should be good for a beginner because you can have better control over it. something around your chin or a little bigger
