Is it better to get a bigger snowboard or smaller?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are doing, how tall you are, and you experience level. If you are new to Snowboarding you want a snowboard that is up to your shoulder. If you are just going down hills you want a snowboard that is up to your shoulder. If you want to hit jumps you want to get a snowboard that is 4 inch (7 cm) down from your arm pit.

Answer 2

a wide snowboard is designed for someone with large feet. if your feet do not hang over the edge of a regular snowboard then you would notice a difference.

Answer 3

Wide boards are made for people who have big feet and don't want toe/heel drag when the turn or stop. They allow for faster and steadier runs but for the most part they would ride the same.

Answer 4

It depends what you want your board for. Freestylers who do alot of spins like shorter boards. Snowboarders who ride powder like to use longer ones so they stay on top the snow.
