HOW TO CHOOSE THE IDEAL SNOWBOARD SIZE
The length of your board will vary depending on your weight, riding style, preferred terrain and height. So, for example, if you are a freerider, opt for a slightly longer board for more stability and speed. When freestyling, choose a smaller board that will be easier to turn and manoeuvre.

- If you are mainly practising in the snow park or doing freestyle, choose the shortest size in the table.
- If you are more into powder snow or freeride, choose the longest measurement in the size range.
- If you are above the average weight, consider a longer snowboard.
- If you are a beginner, aim for a shorter snowboard in your size range.
CHILDREN'S SNOWBOARD
Your child may still be growing, so it is important to find a snowboard that will suit them for a long time, but be careful not to choose a board that is too big (a board that is too big endangers the safety of your child). The right size snowboard will help your child progress faster and have much more fun. Children's snowboards are generally more flexible, to give them the best support on their first ride.

WOMEN'S SNOWBOARD
Women's bodies and turn mechanics are not the same as men's. Since women tend to have less body mass and smaller feet than men of the same height, women's boards are narrower with thinner profiles and softer flexes.
However, the rules for choosing your board are the same for women so you can refer to the previous tips.
