Kids’ snowboard size questions
What size snowboard for an 8-year-old?
About 100–110 cm for a typical 8-year-old, 4′2″ (127 cm) and 57 lb (26 kg). Go by height and weight, not age: children the same age vary a lot.
Should I buy a longer board to grow into?
Stay inside the chest-to-chin range. A board that’s too long is hard to turn, which makes learning slower.
Chest or chin?
Nearer the chest for a first season, a cautious rider or a light child; nearer the chin for a confident or heavier child.
