Snowboard Size Chart and Calculator
Choosing the right snowboard size comes down to more than just standing it next to you and seeing where it lands. The old chin-height rule is a rough shortcut at best. In reality, snowboard sizing should start with rider weight, because your weight has the biggest impact on how a board flexes, grips, turns and holds speed under you.
From there, your boot size helps determine if you need a standard or wide board, while your height helps fine-tune the final length range. Riding style matters too. A rider chasing a quicker, more playful feel may size slightly shorter, while someone looking for more stability, better float in softer snow or a more planted ride may size slightly longer.
At Ballistyx, we fit riders in-store and online using rider weight, boot size, height, riding style and the specific boards they are looking at. Use the calculator below as a strong starting point, then check the model-specific size chart before making your final call.
Use our interactive snowboard size calculator below to find a recommended snowboard length based on your weight, boot size, height, board category and riding style.
Your result is designed to give you a strong starting point. Every snowboard model is a little different, so once you have your recommended size, check the model-specific size chart before making your final call. And don’t forget, we are always here to talk boards. It is one of our favourite things to do.

Shop Matching BoardsThis is a starting point based on general snowboard sizing. Specific models can vary slightly by shape, flex and intended use.
If you are choosing between two sizes, think about how you want the board to feel. A shorter board will usually feel quicker, easier to turn and more playful. A longer board will usually feel more stable at speed, more planted underfoot and better suited to softer snow.
