I usually just multiply pie with the length of my shaft
But that comes out to a negative number.
This is a good starting point, the only thing I would suggest differently is to go on the smaller size of board if you’re a beginner. It will be easier to control.
Good advice for all newbies.
love the chalet man
I'm 145 lbs 6 foot and I've always been happy with my 162cm rossi. Great for powder, and jumps.
Good Video!
lol I wouldn’t recommend riding the chair lift with me either!!! 🤣. Was able to move all the way up to blacks in one season. Three years later still having trouble with the lift
im new and this helped a lot!
Im 6’4” 280 i have really only one option the skunk ape 173 ultra wide😆
My tall is 5’ 10 and my weight is 169 lbs. my feet size is 10.5 can you suggest me what size of snowboard should i buy. Thank you
I bought a Jones frontier 158w and I went to the store to buy a 161w because I’m introducing myself into carving and more free ride stuff and the employee pushed me a lot to get the 158 but the thing is my boot is size 12 and the 158w is made for boots 9.5-11.5. hope I don’t have any drag.
Unless you have a narrow ass stance and a bulky ass boot you'll be fine.
@@AngrySnowboarder okay thanks. yeah i ride 16 and 6 . im a surfer i don’t think I will ever really ride switch lmaoo.
Hi guys. Im an intermediate snowboarder length 5,9 weigh 150 lbs and 9,5 size boots. I have a great offer on an assassin 153. I mostly ride all mountain style with some freestyle into it. Hitting some pow when i can. Should i size up to the 156 or will i be fine with the 153. I learned snowboarding on a 140 board so Im used to shorter boards in general.

Hi mate, i cant go with weight, that puts me on a 152, im only 164 tall but weigh 74 kg, im not fat, its the weight training that puts my weight up. Do u think a 147/148 board would be ok? I ride a 152 but my stance width is too wide and i cant reduce it on this size board
You do you bud.
Im 5’6 195lbs. Does a 159 sound good for my size? Ive been on rentals 150-154. I searched the size chart and says i should be on a 159. I never tried that size before.
K2 simple pleasures, I got the 151. I am 180lbs, near the end of the range(140-190). Want something fasty and turny but I can put it straight and keep up with the homies on regular all mtn boards. I know you've reviewed this board. What length do you ride? Did I fuck up? How bad?
I rode the 51. Sounds like you don't know how to stay on edge or pump the natural terrain.
Hello, I’m stuck now in buying my first board. Looking at grabbing a Yes Basic board but not sure between 149 cm or 152 cm. I am 5’5” weighing approximately 140 lbs.
Get the 52.
Nice video! What size would you put a late intermediate Sasquatch rider on? I'm 6'5" 230lbs
210cm Rad Air Tanker. Something around the 163 to 165 range for all mountain use.
I want to learn snowboarding next year. I plan to get k2 first lite that you recommended. I am 36 years old, 125lb, 5 feet 5, my height and weight are off the chart. Should I go with 142 or 146? Also, 2022 k2 first lite is out too. Should I consider the new version or is it the same to beginners.
Why don’t we reevaluate this question about a month before you go snowboarding.
@@AngrySnowboarder Great! Thank you.
I’m a lil fresh to snowboarding, first couple times I used a rental. I didn’t like how wide my feet were nor the length, was a bit too long. I’m 6’5” and 165lb and size 9.5 in boots. The board I’ve been riding is a 142cm. I like it, pretty fast, easy to control but I feel like I have too much control of the board. Thinking of possibly going up to about 150-155cm for a middle ground. My height, weight and shoes size isn’t typical so it’s a bit harder to pick. Any suggestions?
152
Hi pals. I'm new in snowboarding but I'm a skier. 5'7 and 154lbs. What should be a good size for me? Is 145cm too short?
WAY too short.
on the Jones MT you think the 162w is to small. I'm an 11boot 6"1' 225lbs or go for the 165w?
Take your pick.
Hey i’m a skinnier rider at 5’10 140 lbs. My board is a 157 and the weight range is 130-175. I am an experienced rider and it feels good, but I’m not sure if it is holding me back. Is it too big for me?
Seems a little long.
5'9" 190lbs I ride a 158 burton clash. suppose to be soft but I can't tall press for shit nor "pop" off tail without putting in maximum effort. weight recommendationd say i should be riding 162 but wouldn't it be easyer to press and or pop if its shorter?
It's you not the board.
Hello thanks for all your advice and reviews. I'm not brand new to snowboarding but I'm finally not broke and I've been wondering what what kind/size board to use as a 5'5" 200lbs manlet (yes I am working on losing weight but I'm just looking for a current/next season board until I get somewhere more manageable) I love the park and hitting rails but my 153 Assassin sometimes catches on the rails, is this something that I just need to practice more or would a shorter but stiffer board be better for my hight/weight combo. As much as I'd love a Bataleon disaster, I know that I'm way too heavy for a dedicated park board atm. Thanks again
It's you as a rider, you're already on as small of a board as you could possibly go.
@@AngrySnowboarder Roger Roger, more laps it is thanks
@@MElixirDNB I get that, but do you think a board that is as tall as I am (165cm) will help or hinder progress in the park. (Yes I know Zeb rides a crazy long board, but I'm not him.)
Hey Angery Snowboarder! Snow will be here soon. I want to learn snowboarding this winter. I am 37 years old, 130lb, 5 feet 5, my height and weight are off the chart. Is 2022 or 021 k2 first lite a good beginner board for me? Should I go with 142 or 146? Do you have any other beginner board that you would recommend this year! Many thanks!
I meant 2023 vs 2022 K2 first lite. Another board I am considering is Nitro Lectra. Is Nitro Lectra a good beginner board in your opinion?
Top 5 women's board list coming soon.
@@AngrySnowboarder Looking forward to that list! What would be a good size for me. I am 130 lb 5 feet 5, size 7 shoe. Do i look at the weight or the shoe size more. What are the benefit of shorter vs longer board.
size weight waist shoe size
LECTRA 142 UP TO 130 230
I’m 6”0 155 pounds and I just bought a 159cm Arbor camber board. Should I exchange it for a 156cm or would would I be fine with a 159? Any advice would help
I would exchange it.
Damn, I'm so confuse to pick the right board, I want to make an upgrade. I'm 193 tall and 88kg, I'm looking for endeavor live 2019 157w in this moment, what do you think?Should I looking for a longer board or is ok?Now I have an old Salomon pulse 162w, but is too hard to make turns.Thx.
You're on the right track.
Do you size different based on the camber profile of the board? Like riding rocker a bit shorter than you would a camber?
No.
@@AngrySnowboarder I remember back when reverse camber was catching on. The shop guys said to downsize a few cms. Maybe something to do with rocker having better float?
So... what about Yes snowboards? Yes goes with the chin-nose length, they don't give the riders recommended weight.
Care to give an estimate for the Basic? Thanks

Thanks!
I’m beginner - 160cm and 52kg. What size should I get? Is 150cm long snowboard tall for me ?
I’d say like a 145 to 146
ok so what about a fat butt like myself 290. my best guess is loose weight but in the mean time what size should I be on. right now I have a 154 Kevin Jones board
Woundering if i am riding the right board i am super fresh to snowboarding i ride a 156 i am 5ft 10 250lb any advice
That seems a little small.
Anything you would recommend size range ?
Minimum 160.
I’m an intermediary, once a year, all mountain rider and I wanna buy my first snowboard, which is gonna be an Arbor Element Black, and I’m in doubt between the sizes 161 or 165.
I’m 33 years old, 1,85m tall and I weight 92 kg. Which size board should I pick?! 161 or 165.
Thank you in advance!
92kg = 202 lbs
1,85m = 6.1 feet
161.
Angry Snowboarder Thanks a lot ! 🙏🏻
Could you make a video on choosing Width for beginners? I’m somewhat in the middle, size 10 US (32 boot), been told to try mid-wide (260mm) but many brands like Nitro only have standard (250) or WIIIDE (270). Do you recommend standard or WIDE in that case? Love your advice videos!
You're a 10 you don't need a wide.
Angry Snowboarder thanks appreciate the tip
You don't need a wide with a 10 boot, my buddies and I ride regular with 11.5 boots and i also have a buddy with size 13 boots that rides a capita spring break twin regular aswell, my first board was a wide and I regretted it.
I’m 60kg 156cm, i was given a snowboard sizing 146 is that ok? I’m now in intermediate of my lessons.
That’s a little small
@AngrySnowboarder I was initially given a 134 for my beginner class, thought this was already big xD what range do you think i should use?
@@mayumic08 Jesus Christ you got midget envy or something, bump up to a 149.
yo man im 110 pounds and 5'1, is the salomon dancehaul grom 135 cm too small?
Bigger question is what's your boot size.
@@AngrySnowboarder 6.5 mens or 7.5 womens i have a mondopoint of 24.5
@@justdakota1197 You should be able to get away with it.
Do you take the weight of your gear into account ?
I weigh my poop all year long so I know what it's average is then I can make sure I'm in the golden section of the board.
😮I think my board is too small for my weight... Looks like I'm gonna have to lose some weight cuz it's a new board and I can't return it😂
But if I size up a jib noodle is it now all mtn. Or if I size down a stiffy is it now a jibber.
No.
Do you sell the angry snowboarder hoodie you're wearing in the video?
We will be by next week. Look for the announcement video.
Will definitely need to grab one of those
Be cooler if you did.
Why you no...
Donde esta el bano el queso es malo!
Anything over a 154cm, throw it in the trash. Less than a 160lbs = 148cm, 160-185lbs = 152cm, 185+lbs = 154cm
No.
Worst idea ever, 154 is short for most men I know. I ride a stiffer 152 (since not a lot of female boards come longer than that), but can easily ride 154, 156 and even the XV magtek in 167 was a lot of fun to ride for me in long turns. Wouldn't try that last one in the park though.
I didn't mean it wouldn't work, it's just not nearly as enjoyable as a smaller board
It obviously works, it's just not nearly as enjoyable
I didn't mean to imply they couldn't be enjoyable. I was trying to say for the most part, you'll have much more fun and options on a small board
Dont you dare give up on me A
Too late.
before I watch this
No.
