I don't want to sound like a complete idiot, but what do...

By Ranked #795 - Freestyle Snowboards March 24, 2009

I don't want to sound like a complete idiot, but what do the sizes mean? eg. 156, 158 etc. I've been riding for about five years now, and just never had the interest to ask. I am 14, weigh closer to 170, and am 6 feet tall. Can you tell me what size i need?
Thanks

Angus leave the snowboard questions to the boarders, im not answering questions on harnesses and belay devices, thats ur domain...anyway Robert the size is the lenth from tip to tail in CM, depending on what you ride, ur weight and hight detwermine your board lenth...for you, if you ride mostly park, then go for a shorter board like the 152, that will iniitiate butters on a dime and have a low swing weight, it will feel like the board almost isnt there, but it wont be very stable on big runs...if you ride the whole mountian, everything and everything, then go for the 156, it will still be easy and fun to ride but will give you more stability for bigger runs, it will by a TINY but harder to ride than the 152 tho...and finally, if you ride mostly backcountry, powder, and big runs, then go for the 160, that will be super stable, float on powder, and be FAST! but it will be harder to maunver and dont ever go in the park with it haha...hope that helps
