Instructions
Step 1
Decide on your board model. The following factors should influence the choice: how well you can skate, your riding style, age and gender. In this matter, it is most advisable to consult with a consultant in the store.
Step 2
Decide on the length of the board (its length from tail to nose). This parameter is always written along with the product and is indicated in centimeters. Sometimes there is a "+" sign (150+) after the centimeters. Such boards are suitable for people with a lot of weight or with a large foot. The calculation is made in accordance with your parameters.
Step 3
Find out your height, then subtract fifteen centimeters from it (if you have a dense physique, then subtract ten centimeters, and if, on the contrary, is too fragile, then twenty).
Step 4
If you are just starting to ride, then another ten centimeters should be subtracted from the result obtained, if your level can be determined as average, then five centimeters.
Step 5
Now decide on your style, if this is a freeride, then you should add five centimeters to the result obtained, and if it is freestyle, then on the contrary, subtract 5 centimeters. The resulting figure is the size you need.
Step 6
If you do not know your height, then use the following method: put the board on the tail and come close to it. If its height is at the level of the collarbones, then such a board is suitable for beginners, people with low weight (adolescents), as well as those who prefer to purchase a board for performing all kinds of jumps.
Step 7
If the board reaches your chin, then it should be purchased in the event that you are not already at the initial level of training. However, such a size is also suitable for performing various tricks.
Step 8
If the board is at the level of your nose, then it should only be purchased by professionals or people of heavy build.
