Snowboard Size Chart & Sizing Guide

Size chart

Find your height in the chart for a general all-mountain length range, then adjust within that range based on weight (heavier riders within a height band go toward the longer end, lighter riders toward the shorter end) and riding style (see below).

Using height and weight together

• Start with your height range from the chart, then adjust based on weight relative to others your height — a heavier-than-average rider for their height should size toward the top of the range, lighter-than-average toward the bottom.
• Some brands publish a weight-range chart alongside height — when the two disagree, weight is generally the more precise input since it directly affects how the board flexes underfoot.
• A snowboard that's too long is harder to turn and control at slower speeds; one that's too short feels unstable and 'washy' at higher speeds — both directions of error are noticeable, not just the too-short one.

How riding style shifts the right length

• Freestyle/park riders generally size shorter (toward or below the bottom of their height range) for easier spins and press control.
• All-mountain riders sit in the middle of their height range — this is the default assumption if you're not sure which style describes you yet.
• Freeride/powder riders generally size longer (toward or above the top of their height range) for better float in deep snow and stability at speed.
• A beginner is usually better served slightly shorter than the calculated range, since a shorter board is easier to control and turn while still learning.

Board width — where boot size actually matters

• Board width, not length, is what your boot/shoe size affects — a board too narrow for your boot causes toe and heel overhang, which drags in snow and catches edges unpredictably.
• As a rough guide, riders with a boot size (Mondopoint) above about 28.5-29 cm should check for a 'wide' board option, since standard widths are built around more average foot sizes.
• A proper boot fitting shop can check your specific boot against a specific board's width spec directly — this matters more precisely than any general size chart can predict.
