The shorter the board is, the easier it is to ride. The optimal length is to the chest.
Ski instructor tip:Snowboard instructor tip: Do not choose a board that is to short as you will lose stability!
It all depends on what you love! Piste, powder or park or a little bit of everything. If you are mainly on piste then choose a board between your chest and shoulder. In the park it is better to choose a shorter board up to your chest as it is more flexible while doing tricks. If you like going fast or off piste then we would recommend a slightly longer board. You will get better floatation in deep snow.
Ski instructor tip:It all depends on the shape of the board. For the best all round experience on the piste, park and powder, choose a symmetrical board i.e True Twin.
If you like going fast or in the back country, then choose a longer board.
Ski instructor tip:Longer boards are known as Wide boards as they are slightly wider. These are better in deep powder. Tip: If you have larger feet then choose a Wide board as you will have a better foot position on the board. This gives you a better riding stance and more fun in the turns.

This winter we are excited to be able to offer again the K2 Embassy Board, enthuses Ninko from our Mayrhofen rental station.
Naturally the board itself has outstanding qualities too. With its rocker profile at the nose and tail, as well as a convex base and the dual transitional sidecut, it makes the K2 board extremely versatile and easy to turn. The K2 Embassy Board is comfortable to ride due to its wood inlay and soft deflection curve. Mistakes are easily forgiven and you will soon be back on the right track. With it's "easy-to-learn" flex and geometry, it is the ideal board for beginner and intermediate boarders, and even the more advanced snowboarder will be riding harder and faster with the K2 Embassy Board.
The board's symmetrical form provides complete security and peace of mind. This True-Twin shape provides an equal riding feeling in both directions. With the K2 Embassy board you get a superb grip on the edges which you will feel on every turn. This is how riding should be! The turns feel natural and tight, which will leave you feeling exhilarated. Feel the rhythm!
