Poster: A snowHead
|
I searched for 'search' option, but can't find it..
I'm looking for advice on my snowboard length. I am intermediate boarder and I don't do pipes, just rails and small jumps.
I looked around google but most of the tip says "If you weigh between 130-180 .. get 158cm" .. personally I don't think that's helpful considering how wide the range is.
I weigh 140 pounds now, but my normal weight is 150 . I'm 179cm tall .
I was riding on my friends' 154 board , I just tried 160cm today and i had real hard time making a turn
should I stick to 160 and get use to it? or go down to 157 ish?
thanks in adv.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

larciel, on the home page, once you've logged in, top left of the screen just under the lovely pic is a User Facilities option - search is under there.

Most boards will give you a guide as to which length to get for your weight.
Based on your measurements, you are quite tall but light (compared to me, anyway!). I ride a 161 and I would say that the 160 is a bit too big (without knowing the board). 156-158 would suit you better for your weight for general all mountain riding. If you are doing rails and spins, you probably want to look at 154-156 depending on the board.
Aa a general rule, a longer board is harder to turn but is more stable at speed.
Welcome to snowHeads, by the way!

I too would have suggested something in the 156-158 range for all mountain.
