Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across the industry, so a 'medium' flex may vary from brand to brand. The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Use our Snowboard Size Chart below for a starting point: Remember, the length is as much personal preference as anything, so don’t get too hung up on the recommendations if you ride a longer or shorter board and are happy with it. On each evo snowboard product detail page, you'll find individual size charts for each of the snowboards we sell.

If it's a freestyle snowboard you are looking for, consider smaller sizes that will be easier to spin and maneuver in the terrain park or half-pipe. So, for example, if you are going to be mostly freeriding consider getting a slightly longer board for more stability and speed, unless you’re looking at a volume shifted board. Back in the day, traditional snowboard sizing meant you stand next to the snowboard and if the top hits your chin, great, it fits! While that may be a good place to start, things like ability level, weight, and construction of the board are also important factors in determining the appropriate board length. How do you pick the correct snowboard length? The length of your snowboard will vary depending on your body weight and the type of riding you plan to do.
