I am thirteen and 5'0, and I want to get a new snowboard. I found a youth Burton snowboard that would work for me, and it is 130 cm. Would this be too small for me? Should I go with women's sizes?
10 points for best answer. Thanx!As far as bindings go, definitely buy women's. If you're 5"0, you probably have 6-7 size feet. So go for women's small bindings. The reason I say this is because the highback (the highback being the part that holds your heel in) on women's bindings tends to be constructed lower because women's calves naturally sit lower on the leg than men's.
As far as the board itself goes, I'm not too picky on whether it's a guys or gals board. If you like pink and girly designs, go for the gnarr chick ride.
A 130cm would be a good size if you plan on sticking to freestyle. If you wanted to do a little more pow then you could always go for a 131 or a 133. I think that would be a good size for you this year. But your only 13 and will probley outgrow your board in a year, you should buy a different brand and save some money cuase Burtons aren't the cheapest boards around. If you buy a Burton you should buy one a bit longer so it can last you a while. Yeah, That Should Be Perfect.No, too small. I'm 5'1 and even a 138 its level with my chin which is sort of small. If you're new to snowboarding and you're into all mountain riding, I'd consider even a 135 or up to a 138 since you're probably going to grow and im going to assume you'll be riding for more than one season. We're only an inch difference in height and I wouldn't be riding a 130 even if I was all into sole park riding.130cm would be a good fit for your description.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
