why are board sizes different? - Snowboarding Forum

Reading around this forum it seems like some people are saying a certain size in one manufacture is not the same as another. I think I heard a lib tech banana 157 is pretty much the same height as a never summer sl 155.

How could this be true? Doesn't the number represent the length in cm? How can a 155cm board be the same height as a 157cm board?

Measure before it's pressed, measure after it's pressed, measure the effective edge, etc. etc.
