Nose Length - Tail Length - Nose Height - Tail Height

Nose Length

The nose length is measured from the forward contact point of the board to the tip of the nose. If you put the board on the ground and measure from where the nose starts to kick up to the end, this will be the nose length. Freeride boards have a longer nose length to help the snowboard float through the snow.

Tail Length

The tail length is measured from the rear contact point of the board to the tip of the tail. If you put the board on the ground and measure from where the tail starts to kick up to the end, this will be the tail length.

Nose Height

This is the highest point of the nose from the ground. Place the board on a flat surface and measure from the tip of the nose to the ground.

Tail Height

This is the highest point of the tail from the ground. Place the board on a flat surface and measure from the tip of the tail to the ground.
