Considering this, what length of snowboard should I get?
Snowboard length: As a general rule, if you stand a board on its tail, the nose of the board should reach somewhere between your nose and chin. You can use size charts and recommended rider weights to get more precise. Types of snowboards: Your choices include all-mountain, freestyle, freeride, powder and splitboards.
Similarly, what happens if your snowboard is too long? Height and Weight If you're carrying a lot of weight and your snowboard is too short, you'll sink like a stone in powder. The board doesn't have enough surface area to carry your weight. If you're a beanpole and your board is too long, you'll have problems controlling it on the slope.
Also asked, is a longer snowboard better for beginners?
If you're riding is mostly all mountain, powder or freeriding, consider a snowboard on the longer end of the size range. If you are above average weight consider a longer snowboard. If you are a beginner, aim for a shorter board in your size range.
