SNOWBOARD SIZES:

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CHOOSING LIKE A PRO

Choosing the Right Size Is Half the Fun on the Slopes

Hey, rider! You know just how much a snowboard can make or break your day on the mountain. And no, picking a board isn’t like buying a t-shirt. Every detail matters, and we at Blide are here to guide you through choosing the perfect board for you.

Type of Use: Beyond the Labels

Before diving into technical details, you need to know what kind of rider you are. Snowboards generally fall into four main categories:

  • All Mountain: Average length 155-165 cm, great for almost everything.
  • Park-Freestyle: Average length 148-155 cm, perfect for tricks and jumps.
  • Splitboard: Divisible into two for adventurous slopes.
  • Freeride: Average length 160-170 cm, ideal for fresh snow and off-piste adventures.

Pro Tip: An All Mountain board with a flex rating of 6 out of 10 is a versatile choice for most riders.

Physical Characteristics: Height and Weight Matter

While height is a factor, your weight is what really determines the right board for you. For instance, if you weigh 75 kg and are 175 cm tall, a 160 cm All Mountain board might be just right.

Remember: The weight-to-height ratio is specific to each board model.

Bindings and Boots: The Details That Make the Difference

A board width of 25-26 cm works for most riders. Boots or bindings that are too big or too small can mess up your experience on the slopes.

The Secret? Choose a Custom Snowboard!

The golden rule to avoid mistakes? Go for a custom snowboard. With Blide, 3D tailoring isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
