Is it easier to ride a bigger or smaller snowboard?

A short snowboard is easier to turn than a long one but a longer board will be more stable at speed when it will tend to bounce around and wobble less than a shorter one as more of the board will be in contact with the snow.

Should you go by height or weight for snowboards?

Weight definitely matters far more than height – although the height myth is very prevalent. I’m short as well and my snowboard looks pretty long, but it’s actually just right for my weight. I weigh 105 and ride a 145, which is actually on the longer end of what I can ride for all-mountain.

Is it OK to use a smaller snowboard?

It is completely okay to ride a smaller snowboard. Plenty of riders prefer smaller and narrower snowboards to swing weight and for easier pressing. It will be easier to spin and perform tricks. Smaller snowboards are especially preferred by freestyle riders so that they can do board slides, 360s, and other stunts.

Does weight matter when choosing a snowboard?

Within the range identified, the board should perform as intended. Note: this range is a suggestion, and if you find yourself outside of the range, it’s okay. Typically, if you’re under the weight range, the board might be a bit stiffer. Conversely if you’re over the weight range, your deck might ride a little softer.
