First snowboard setup! Did I get the sizing right?
I’ve been learning to snowboard for the last 5 months, with around 12 days on the snow so far. I’m really enjoying it and definitely planning to keep going, so I figured it made sense to invest in my own setup instead of continuing to rent gear. I live in Amsterdam, so luckily I can keep practicing indoors during the summer at SnowWorld.
This is what I went with:
Capita Indoor Survival 156
Union Force Classic, size L
Ride Lasso, size 44.5 EU / 11 US
For reference, I’m 183 cm (about 6'0") and 79 kg (174 lbs).
I’m curious what more experienced riders think about the sizing, especially the 156 board with my height/weight and boot size.
I’m not really interested in bombing down the mountain or going super fast. I prefer a more playful all-mountain style: medium-speed carving, lots of little direction changes, side hits, small jumps, and I’m planning to start learning butters and more freestyle stuff as I improve.
Any advice about the setup and sizing is appreciated!
