5 Of The Best Snowboards

Style
The first step in selecting a board is finding one that matches your style — ‘style’ including both visual preference and riding preference. Style relates to the amount of flex in the board. If you want to do tricks, you need a more flexible board so your style is "Park". If you're a speed demon, you want a stiffer board and your style is "Freeride". If you want to do everything with one board or you're a beginner select "All Mountain" which is somehwere in between.
Length
One of the key things to remember is that board length is based on your body weight first and foremost.
Your height is the second factor that will play into what size of snowboard you should ride. If you want a quick rule of thumb, then with one end is rested on the ground the other end will be about level with your chin.
