Hey there, I need some help with getting a new board. My current board is Roxy Eminence 143cm but I tested ride last year and it was a bit hard to control when switching from heelside to toeside, so im thinking 143cm might be too long for me and i should get a shorter board, I just need to know whats the best length for me?
- Height: 5’3″
- Weight: 105lbs
- Boot: US Woman 5.5
- Experience: 2 years (bit more than beginners)
- Riding style: all mountains
I’m based in Australia so not much of powder snow, more looking at doing tricks and easier to control on carving.
Thanks for the long readdd 🙂Hi and welcome to Frosty Rider. You did a great job at explaining your situation. I took some time to review your post and it seems that the board you have is a bit too wide for you. No, the length doesn’t matter as much — especially for edge-to-edge difficulties like you are having.I ran your figures through the Size Calculator as a guide and it says that a good waist width for you is 22.7cm and length of 138cm. http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm?numheight=63&numweight=141&numshoe=22.4&numgender=1&numstyle=-2.2&numlevel=0&recommend=8&useprice=Problem is that it is difficult to find a board that is that narrow. Not to worry, because there are no exact figures and this is just a guide to help us choose. Board widths do tend to correlate with length, so going with the shorter 138 (as opposed to your 143) will most
