To lessen the impact under feet, little shock-absorbing impact plates are woven into the fiberglass.

Board Length by Weight
Your weight is the most important factor in determining board length. Having a board that cooperates with your body weight will allow you to ride your best and not have to worry about losing control. If a heavier rider gets a board that is too short, the board tends to get loose and less controllable at higher speeds. A board that is too soft and short can also result in over-flexing and possible wipe-outs. It can go the other way as well. A lighter rider who gets too long of a deck will have a tough time maneuvering and flexing the board.
There are some cases when riding style comes into play where it is acceptable to size down your board for a lighter setup and added mobility to help throw down those heavy ass tricks. Freestyle riders who spend most of their time in the park or in the street tend to use sized-down boards for a more skate-inspired style and feel.
If you’re on the heavier side or looking to just ride powder, or both, scaling your board up a bit may also be appropriate. A slightly longer board will help you keep that nose above the snow line, allowing you to float across the fluff at faster speeds. A longer board will also provide a stiffer board response for added stability.
Board Length by Height
Height is probably the first measurement that comes to mind when thinking of choosing a snowboard length, but it might not be the best sizing method on its own. Even so, people have been sizing snowboards by height alone since the beginning and will probably continue to do so forever. There are several methods of sizing snowboards by height that have developed over the years.
Using the traditional method, some believe a shorter board for your size range should come up between your collarbone and your chin when the board is stood on end. These shorter-length boards are good for beginners and freestyle riders. A longer board could reach from your nose. The longer-length boards are good for powder and high speed.
So height is an important variable, but don’t forget to factor in your weight, riding style, and the manufacturer’s tech specs for each board as well.
