What if your snowboard is too big?

Best Answer

If your snowboard is too big, it will be harder to control. A longer board will be quicker, but the added surface area and weight can make it harder for you to ride if you don't have the weight for it. There are situations when a longer board is preferred, such as powder riding where the added surface area will allow the rider to float better. A board on the smaller side is much better for park riding and jibbing because of the lower swing weight and the added control. Overall, it's important to make sure you size the board accordingly to your weight. Added is a link for a general snowboard sizing chart.

I am 5'2 and weigh 111 Would a 146 snowboard be too big for me?

No, a snowboard wouldn't be too big. I am 5'10 and weigh 135 pounds, and I fit perfectly. Snowboards are made in many different sizes, meaning a kid that's 4'8 and weighs 80 pounds to a man that's 6'4 and weighs 180 pounds can ride a snowboard.
