I'm 181cm, 73kg/146lbs intermediate snowboarder. How short a freestyle board can I buy?

Question

I have a 160cm Burton Cruiser (Freeride) and I want to start learning more ground tricks i.e. nose press.

I figure 156cm might be my limit but I want to hear from someone else before I invest.

Any help much appreciated!!

Answer 1

According to my calculation, your 181cm / 73kg size in metric is about 6'0" / 160lbs.

Height wise, I would say your 160 board is about right, but since you are fairly light for you height, I would think you could ride a 158 or a 156 in my opinion.

Good Luck
