Snowboard Size
Online calculator will help select a snowboard, calculate what length it should be.
1. So, let's get started. There are 3 types of snowboards for different riding:
•Freeride - Riding off-piste in deep snow in the mountains.
•Fristail - Jumping on ramps. Performing tricks. Ideal for riding in urban settings or on city slopes.
•All Mountain (beginner) - Universal boards for riding both in parks and in mountains. Ideal solution for beginners "snowboarding".
2. Next is the snowboard length - this is the length of the snowboard from nose to tail. When buying a snowboard, the length is one of the main parameters. The choice of length depends on the style and experience of the snowboarder. For freestyle, shorter snowboards are suitable, and for freeride - longer ones, beginners are recommended
to choose an average length between freestyle and freeride.
3. Next, let's consider stiffness. Beginners are recommended to buy soft snowboards. They are easier to handle, easier to manage and they "forgive" mistakes. Soft boards are ideal for learning to ride (usually one - two seasons), medium stiffness snowboards – are the choice of those who already stand confidently on the board. The stiffest boards – are a matter of preference.
