What size snowboard for a 240 lb rider?

Each chart for a two hundred forty-pound rider

Charts read for a two hundred forty-pound (one hundred nine-kilogram) rider: Jones snowboard sizing guidelines, evo snowboard size chart. Last checked 2026-10-20.

Reading the two hundred forty-pound rows

240 lb falls in a single Jones band (225+ lb), which gives 165+ cm. Jones adds that height plays only a minor role, so weight takes priority.

evo's chart is built on height, with a weight range per height. A two hundred forty-pound rider appears on 1 of its rows, from 6'4" to 6'4", which is why its reading is the widest: 158+ cm. Never Summer's chart stops at 205 lb, so it has no row for 240 lb.

At this weight at least one chart prints an open-ended row ("+"), so the top of the span is not a number the brand gives. Read the shared window, or the specific board's own weight range, for the upper limit.

Adjusting a two hundred forty-pound rider's board for style

Jones moves its chart answer for how you ride. Applied to the shared window for a two hundred forty-pound rider (165+ cm):

• Freeride, big mountain or powder: 2 to 3 cm longer, about 167+ cm, for float and stability at speed.
• Freestyle and park: 2 to 3 cm shorter, about 162+ cm, for spins and edge changes.
• Beginners: often 1 to 2 cm shorter, about 163+ cm, or a softer board.

evo says the same in words: park riders toward the short end of its range, all-mountain, powder and freeride riders toward the long end, heavier riders longer. Never Summer adds a height check: the board should land between your chest and chin, never as tall as you.

Width for a two hundred forty-pound rider: the boot-size check

Weight sets the length; boot size sets the width. Jones says a regular-width board works up to men's US 10 (women's 11.5) and gives a minimum waist width for every half size above it. Never Summer's rule reads "Men >10.5/11 = X" and "Men >12 = DF" (its extra-wide class). Burton: "Larger than men's US 12 will almost certainly need a wide snowboard for the best performance." The full table, size by size, is on the snowboard hub and in the width guide.

Either side of two hundred forty pounds

Ten pounds lighter, a two hundred thirty-pound rider reads 158+ cm across the charts, sharing 164+ cm. Ten pounds heavier, a two hundred fifty-pound rider reads 158+ cm, sharing 165+ cm.

For a two hundred forty-pound rider these are the brands' general charts; each board model also has its own weight range, and that range wins for that board. Last checked 2026-10-20; see the methodology.
