Shorter boards are easier to control. They allow
you to turn and spin faster. They are great for
freestyle and lower speed riding. Longer boards
make slower turns and are beneficial in deep snow and
higher speed riding.
In sizing snowboards, board width is more important than length. A
snowboarder with a board that is too long or short can
adjust, but an ill-fitted width is nearly impossible to
use. Too narrow and your toes will drag resulting
in the edge releasing and loss of control. Too
wide and it makes edging and carving too strenuous.
Width is measured as "waist width" in millimeters.
