Beginner Snowboard Size Calculator

Here’s a comprehensive table summarizing all you need to know about beginner snowboard sizes:

Weight Range (kg)	Snowboard Size (cm)	Type	Additional Considerations
<40	134-140	Freestyle	Choose a board that reaches between chin and nose height1
40-50	140-145	All-Mountain	Opt for a softer, more flexible board for better control1
50-60	145-152	All-Mountain	Consider a wider board for stability
60-70	152-157	All-Mountain	Board tip should come between chin and nose1
70-80	157-162	Freeride	May need a wide board for boot sizes 11+2
>80	162-168	Freeride	Consider rider’s height and desired performance3

Additional Considerations for Beginners

1. Width: Choose a wider board for stability and to accommodate larger boot sizes2.
2. Flexibility: Opt for a softer, more flexible board for better control at slower speeds1.
3. Length: A shorter board is generally more manageable for beginners2.
4. Boot Overhang: Ensure your boots extend just slightly over the edges (1-2 cm on each side)3.
5. Riding Style: For all-mountain beginners, choose a board in the middle of your size range6.
6. Weight vs. Height: Prioritize your weight over height when selecting board size4.
7. Margin of Error: You won’t go wrong with a board within 3-4 cm of your ideal size5.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and personal preference, specific terrain, and riding goals may influence your final choice. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional at a local snowboard shop for personalized advice.
