We have one of the largest selections of kids' snowboards on the web, a super knowledgeable staff and expert guides.
Height and weight are both important derterminants in selecting the correct size snowboard for kids. A good rule of thumb is that youth snowboards should come up somewhere between the child's chest and chin. You will find individual size charts on individual snowboard product detail pages for each of the snowboards we sell. Need a starting point? Use the Kids' Snowboard Size Chart below.
To find the correct size snowboard:
-
Measure your child's height and weight.
-
Locate that height on the chart below.
-
Your child might be between two of the heights listed; in that case find their weight on the chart. If they are light for their height, you're going to size a snowboard to the shorter height, and therefore will end up with a shorter board. If they are heavy for their height, you'll go off the taller height and end up with a longer board.
-
Line up this final height with the corresponding snowboard length in the right column to get the correct snowboard size range. Below the chart we have put together reasons to size up or down within this range.

Height and weight are based off of the 50th percentile for children for each age listed on the left side of the chart.
Reasons to size kids' snowboards shorter, closer to the chest:
-
They are a beginner or cautious snowboarder.
-
Their weight is lighter than average for their height.
-
They like to make short, quick turns and seldom ride fast.
Reasons to size kids' snowboards longer, closer to the nose:
-
They are riding fast and aggressively.
-
They weigh more than average for their height.
-
You want to purchase a snowboard with room to grow. Children grow fast and there are boots and outerwear designed to accomodate this, however, we do not recomend sizing their snowboard much bigger than the recomended range.
