      Hi.  Whats the difference between snowboard inside curves and measurements.  Is there an article somewhere for that? Like I got these measurements from a snowboard at Burton's website (are they good by the way) and there are so many. Please help.:Board Size: A. Running Length: B. Waist Width: C. Sidecut Depth: D. Sidecut Radius: E. Stance Width: F. Nose Width: G. Tail Width: Effective Edge: Stance Location: Weight Range: Binding Size: 131 905 mm 226 mm 16.4 mm 6.25 m 355 mm 258.8 mm 258.8 mm 945 mm Back 25 mm 55-105 lbs. /25-48 kg. S

            Burton snowboards rock, no doubt.  The terms you are referring to are simply the titles for measurements that are taken on the board.  Here is the low-down on that for ya:Overall Length – (or simply “length”) Length of the board in cm from tip to tail.  Longer boards are for larger riders.Running Length – The length in cm of the base of the board that actually contacts the snow.Waist Width – The most important sizing factor.  Hold the board up on end and check out it's babelicious hourglass shape.  The measure ment of thenarrowest part of the waist across the base of the board is the waist width.  Riders with smaller feet look for a narrower waist width here (or smaller number) and big footers look for 26cm+.Sidecut Depth – Tilt the board up on edge all the way 90 degrees.  See the gap between the flo

              THANKS 🙂 And do you mean that if I put the narrowest part of the base of a board to the narrowest part of my waist, that is what the waist width should be?

                The waist of the snowboard has nothing to do with the waist of you.
