You know that line about one ring to rule them all? If someone made a movie about the Gnu Carbon Credit Series BTX Wide, the script writers would have to have a line about one board for every reason, throughout everyone's seasons. Except it's not a fantasy--the Gnu Carbon Credit Series BTX Wide is really that good, and this specific part of the collection is sized for guys with boot sizes 10 and up. The Carbon Credit Wide balances your edge control at the center of the snowboard through a unique Banana reverse camber. Banana Tech is a snowboard-specific camber that Gnu adopted from Lib Tech, a snowboard R&D company that created the Banana camber. Because the camber in skis and the camber in snowboards are completely different, someone needed to optimize the snowboard shape because riders have both of their feet on a single board, while skiers put one boot on each ski. Banana tech livens the traditional camber dead space between your snowboard boots for complete and consistent edge hold, so you enjoy a far more responsive ride on a variety of terrain. It also lightens the loads on the tips and tails so you're less likely to catch an edge in those places. The Carbon Credit Wide features a lively Mervin A.5 core made from durable aspen wood and reinforced with biaxial fiberglass to maintain a predictable and forgiving flex. That makes it great for new riders, but also ideal for advanced snowboarders who are looking for a consistent all-terrain platform that still offers plenty of response and pop everywhere on any snow-covered mountain.
Snowboard Length Sizing:
A recent survey showed 85% of pro riders revealed that on average they rode boards that are 85% - 92% of their height. The formula to live by is: Rider Height (inches) x 2.54 x 0.88 = Suggested Board Length (cm). And presto, you have the perfect board for you in all conditions. Right? Wrong!!
Keep in mind that there is no magical formula for every rider. It's more or less determined by terrain, conditions and most of all, personal preference. In general, an overall greater cm length will yield a board that can be controlled at and attain greater speeds. In addition, longer boards are better performers and float more in powder due to their increased surface area. Shorter overall lengths yield a board that is more maneuverable and offer a lower swing weight.
| Rider Height | Board Length |
|---|---|
| 4'0"" (48"") | 103 - 112cm |
| 4'2"" (50"") | 107 - 116cm |
| 4'4"" (52"") | 112 - 121cm |
| 4'6"" (54"") | 116 - 126cm |
| 4'8"" (56"") | 120 - 130cm |
| 4'10"" (58"") | 125 - 135cm |
| 5'0"" (60"") | 129 - 140cm |
| 5'2"" (62"") | 133 - 144cm |
| 5'4"" (64"") | 138 - 149cm |
| 5'6"" (66"") | 142 -154cm |
| 5'8"" (68"") | 146 -158cm |
| 5'10"" (70"") | 151- 163cm |
| 6'0"" (72"") | 155-168cm |
| 6'2""+ (74"") | 159cm - 172cm |
Snowboard Width Sizing:
Board width is as important, if not more important, than overall length in selecting the right board for you.
A board that is too narrow in relation to a rider's boot will cause toe and heel drag. With a board that's too wide, the rider will not be able to put adequate pressure on the toe and heel edge, thus creating an unresponsive ride.
Use the following chart to gauge the relationship between your boot size and board.
| Mens Boot Size | Womens Boot Size | Youth Boot Size | Board Width (at base) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 5.5 |
Up to 6 |
Up to 6 |
Up to 24 cm Narrow |
| 6 to 10 |
6.5 to 11 |
24-25.5 cm Regular |
|
| 10 to 12 |
25.5-26.5 cm Midwide |
||
| 12 or larger |
26.5 cm+ Wide |
