Essential know-how focuses on equipment and gives you not-to-be-missed advice and tips from the experts on skis, boots and boards...How to choose the right snow boardReproduced with permission from BargainBoards.co.uk The discount online snowboard shop. Start by picking a snowboard which is proportional to your height. Most riders find that a board which comes up to their chin is ideal. The longest board most people tend to ride is one that comes to eye level and the shortest is shoulder level. The table below illustrates typical sizes for typical people.
To determine whether your board should be shoulder, chin or eye level, you need to consider a bunch of factors, the most important of which is your body weight. If you are heavier than average for your height, you will want a longer board. Girls, please realise that these averages are based on male body weights so if you are light for your height as a girl, it will provide double the reason for picking a shorter board. If five or six of the following factors apply, pick a board at the extreme end of the range. More help can be found in the BargainBoards.co.uk online Advice Centre. www.bargainboards.co.uk
