what to look for when buying snowboards

This is the most important question that anyone could ask about snowboarding that is what should I look for in a snowboard. the three things that you are spose to look for is hight, width, and type of snowboard. when looking for hight first you have to look at how tall you are and based on how tall you are. The board come in centimenters theise boards should come between your collare bone and you chin. short boards are most used by begginers because they are most easy to ride. medium boards are soposed to be inbetween you chin and your nose these boards are used to do tricks. long boards are above you eyes and that is use for geting lots of speed going down hills. two when looking for a board the width has a lot to do with what you want to do when snowboarding. when you have bid feet you need to get a wider board because if not your feet will hang off the edge. If the board is to small for you feet you will not be able to controle it as well. the trird thing to look for when you are buying a snowboard is what type. there are three types of boards freestyle, free ride and fre carve. free style board are use for grinding and jumps. Free style are used for free style and regular rideing. Free carve is for intence speed and carving.
