Too small? - Snowboarding Forum

iShotiiKillz · 04-02-2012, 03:06 PM

I just bought a 155 size snowboard and stupid me didn't research thaat much to see if it actually was the right size. upon realization that i needed to check, i came across mixed feelings about what size board i should ride for my weight. Some say that it will work for what i want and most say to go a size bigger..

I weigh 185 lbs and am looking for a 60% mountain 40% park. maybe a little more mountain than park, at least until i get good enough to hit jumps and pipe.

I weigh about the same as you and ride a 156. I haven't had any problems with that size board. You should be fine.

155 should be just fine at your weight.
