It isn’t easy to find the right board; there are so many types of boards to choose from. Some things to think about are…
Honestly assess your abilities, budget and likely riding areas before shopping.
Height and Width Test
- the length of board is always printed on it
- you want a board that is between your chin and your nose
- If you are a recreational rider, park, pipe, freestyle you want to size down to make it easier to turn
- If you are a powder rider, carver, or agressive you shoule size up to be able to carve better
-If you have big feet go for a wider board to aviod toe drag
