Is 3 inches on a snowboard a big deal when riding?
my boyfriend is about the same size as you.





he rides a 158cm long, 25cm wide twin tip for park and pipe, 161 26 directional twin board cm for all mountain and a 166 26 floater for those huge utah powder days!!
Reply:yup you would be surprised at how just a few cm will change the whole board. The side cut, the with, the stance. You want a longer board for deep powder so you can just float. Short boards are good for jibbing and spins or learning to turn.
Reply:its a very big deal you could get away with a 160 but the smaller you go the more jerky the board will be unless you plan on riding in the park or pipe stick to a bigger board.
