They have a length of 139 or 146 snowboard suits me best? I am a woman of about 5'2 feet and 115 pounds?
Hi, I have been watching the boards snow today and there are two snowboard and I love being at the right price for me. I am a woman 5'2 and about 115 books, but only two formats that were were 139 or 146 long. Snowboard suit me best? I am a beginner in snowboarding. 139, a little shorter than my chin (converse shoes), but 146 was larger my chin. Thank you!
We are exactly the same size! I used to go to 147 and that was fine, but really a bit too long. Now I drive a canvas 140 ride and is perfect! I can not even imagine any longer. I would definitely go with the 139. In general, you can try is your height (cm) x 2.54 x .9 = suggested board size. good luck!
