How to Use a Snowboard Size Chart and a Ski Boot Size Chart for Kids

By Dave Bunting 27 June, 2023 2 mins read

It can be difficult when snowboarding to find the right size board. You can start by looking at a snowboard sizing table. It provides a guideline as to the average length of a snowboard according to a height. However, it doesn't cover all of the important factors.

The best way to determine the correct snowboard sizing for you is to consider your riding style and the terrain you ride. Your weight is also important. You might consider shorter boards for lighter riders, but longer boards may be more maneuverable for heavier riders.

To determine the size they need, some riders even use a snowboard sizing tool. It can be a good idea, but it is more likely that your personal sizing will determine your final size. There are many other factors to consider when deciding on the right size. Don't be afraid of taking some time to do your research.

In a board sizing guide, width is an important aspect. A wider board will enable you to better control your edges, and to prevent toe drag. In particular, snowboards with a wide waist are ideal.

You might want to stick with boards in the "freeride" range, as these have more surface area and will offer better float in deep snow. You will have more stability and higher top speed with longer boards. Also, they are easier to spin. If you're just starting out, a smaller board is probably the best option.

The right snowboard can make a huge difference in your enjoyment of the sport. Before you buy a brand new board, make sure to test it out on a variety of boards to find which one you like the most. You can make a decision and buy the board if you are confident.

There are many options when searching for a board. There's a snowboard for everyone, so you can find one that suits your needs. But remember, you can't pick a snowboard just because it's the most popular or has the most bells and whistles. Select a board that suits your needs and interests.

A snowboard sizing chart should also include a flex scale. A softer board is better for advanced or intermediate snowboarders. A hybrid board, which combines flat profiles and camber will work well for you.

Another important thing to remember when buying a snowboard is the stance as well as the boots. A snowboard should be positioned outward. Also, you should consider buying bindings with a slightly higher toe. A snowboard sizing chart can help you determine the size that is right for you.
