Use These Snowboard Sizing Tips When Buying Your Next Skateboard

When buying a new snowboard, picking out the best snowboard sizing is very crucial for choosing the perfect board. Choosing  a correct sized snowboard not only keeps you safe and secure while riding but performs a key role in helping you get a much better control of movement when you are moving on the slopes. Some of these recommendations listed below will help you to decide on the appropriate sized snowboard for yourself.

Snowboards are in most cases available in various sizes in line with the weight of an individual. Though large riders may need to have a lengthier and stiffer board to give them additional support, especially during turns, the lighter riders will need flexible and shorter boards that should assist them to maneuver easily. Because the boards are made with certain weight to length ratios, selecting a size based on your weight can go a long way in helping you find the correct sized board.

The actual body type of the user also proves to be a vital aspect in helping you determine the proper snowboard sizing. Although the height of an individual is given importance while selecting a board, keeping in mind the body type of the user in reference to height and weight to the size of the snowboard can help you choose the ideal sized board.

The size of your boots is another important issue to help you choose the proper sized snowboard. Comparing the size of the snowboard with the waist width of the board helps prevent toe and heel dragging, specifically at a time when the front of your boot comes in contact with the snow.

Selecting a snowboard according to your needs always performs a very important role in determining the proper snowboard sizing. While a novice needs a smaller board which is a lot easier to control, an intermediate and advanced user will need a larger one to help them to remain stable and keep control of their speed.  Therefore it becomes critical to determine the type of rider you are before you’ll be able to buy the appropriate sized snowboard.

The style of riding can also be important when you are attempting to select the most effective snowboard.  So while a free style rider usually requires a shorter sized board to enable him to spin and maneuver easily, a backcountry rider who has a tendency to lean-to on a board will prefer a longer sized board to provide him much more float in the powder and various snow conditions.

Keeping in mind these various factors when you are purchasing a snowboard will go a long way in helping you choose the right snowboard sizing and make you feel comfortable each time you get on the slopes.

Now, the evolution of the Rome Agent Rocker Snowboard continues with the pop-enhancing carbon Hot Rods on the nose and tail, and the unique geometry of the precise-yet-playful QuickRip sidecut.

Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard $369.95 If your definition of ‘pow day’ is ‘enough new snow to go hit street rails’, then the mega-buttery Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard is your new dream stick. Rome’s JibPop Rocker profile gives you ultimate catch-free freedom, while the large flat zone in the center still locks into rails to prevent those dreaded soggy boardslides.

Rome Label Rocker Snowboard – Kids’ $259.95 You’re ready to hang with the big dogs at the park now that you’re equipped with the Rome Kids’ Label Snowboard. This jib-hungry rocker board never met a feature it didn’t want to spin off of, jump over, tap, or just plain dominate. The Label’s FreePop Rocker camber profile flattens out the area under your feet and just past the binding zones and then rockers up to the tips, so you get an easy-turning, catch-free, yet stable ride.

Rome Agent Rocker Snowboard – Wide $499.95 Once upon a time there was a large yeti with huge ol’ feet dwelling in the woods. This particular yeti loved to snowboard. And he was good at it, he loved to jib, lap the park, ride powder-filled chutes, and spray skiers. But there was one problem: this oversized biped couldn’t find an all-mountain freestyle board that didn’t cause his large huge heels and toes to drag in the snow. Boards that did fit were coffin-sized and no fun in the park, which was no good, either. One day, a Rome Agent Rocker Wide Snowboard fell from the sky. He was stoked out of his mind.

Artec Pop Rocker Snowboard – Men’s $321.95 The Artec Pop Rocker Snowboard is a shred machine! The increased base contour arc of PopTec rocker rides loose and skatey and is perfect for locking into high tech jib maneuvers. And featuring Artec's SuproTec wood core with ComposiTec beam technology, and TriTec sidewalls, it's the stuff inside this board that put the POP in PopRocker! For speed and durability Artec uses their AlphaTec base, which provides superior glide and the toughness needed to handle the abuses of postmodern shredding. A favorite of Johnny Miller and Nejc Ferjan, the PopRocker has proven performance with a focus on VERY TECHNICAL freestyle snowboarding. Whether you're hitting the streets or the slopes, the PopRocker is made for getting downright WILD wherever you ride it!
