The typical snowboard length ranges from 90 cm, which can accommodate a small child, to 178 cm, which can support the weight of a rider well over 200 lbs. Shorter snowboards are easier to maneuver when learning, while longer boards are more stable at higher speeds, as with skis.Oct 6, 2021

Is weight or height more important for snowboard length?
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.Aug 27, 2009
