How to Choose the Right Board.
There are three main styles in snowboarding: freestyle, freeride and freecarve/race. In terms of numbers, snowboarders are pretty evenly split between freestyle and freeride, while race boards are more rare - you probably already know if you're in this category. Manufacturers design boards for each of these styles of riding, so it is good to have a basic understanding of where you fit before you shop.
Price Range
Entry level boards (US$200 and up) tend to be a little heavier and are designed for beginning or less aggressive riders. Mid-range boards (US$300 and up) are a little lighter and are designed to satisfy an intermediate or occasional rider. Top-of-the-line models (US$400 and up) will be lightweight and have extra features to help in advanced riding, such as maintaining an edge at high speeds.
Snowboard Length
The correct snowboard length depends on your riding style (above), height and weight. Most people will need a board that hits them somewhere around the chin or mouth. Deep powder or race boards will be longer; freestyle or trick boards shorter. Riders heavy for their height can go a little longer (as well as stiffer); likewise, riders light for their height can go shorter and with a softer flex.
Snowboard Width
Width is a very important factor when choosing a snowboard, especially if you are a woman -- or a guy with really big or really small feet. Women and small-footed men need narrow snowboards; big footed guys need wide boards. Basically, when standing in riding position across a snowboard, your boots should be flush or slightly over the edges.
