I’m currently 5’9, 140lbs, what’s a good snowboard length for me if I want to purchase a freerider board?

It kind of depends on what kind of board you are looking at. A rockered or a tapered board could be ridden at any length between 156 and 160. For a cambered directional board you might want to look at something between 158 and 163. It depends if you want stability and power over agility and playfulness. List some boards and I’ll try and suggest the right size for you. Rich.

Use your weight and look at the stats on K2’s website for the length.
