Not sure which length to pick? Start with your weight, check your boot size, then adjust for how you ride. This is a general guide. If you're between sizes or want a second opinion, email us and we'll help you choose.

1. Start with your weight

Rider weight matters more than height when choosing a board length.

Rider weight Suggested length Academy sizes in range
Under 120 lb (under 54 kg) 145–149 cm 145, 146, 149
120–140 lb (54–64 kg) 146–152 cm 146, 149, 150, 152
140–160 lb (64–73 kg) 150–155 cm 150, 152, 153, 155
160–180 lb (73–82 kg) 153–158 cm 153, 155, 156, 157, 158
180–200 lb (82–91 kg) 156–160 cm 156, 157, 158, 159
Over 200 lb (over 91 kg) 158–163 cm 158, 159 and the wide sizes below

2. Check your boot size

  • Regular sizes (24.1–25.5 cm waist) suit most riders in boots up to about US men's 10.5.
  • Wide sizes (marked W, 26.0–26.8 cm waist) are for boots US men's 11 and up, or if your toes or heels drag on a regular board.

3. Adjust for how you ride

  • Size down 2–4 cm for park, rails and street, or if you want a board that's easier to turn.
  • Size up for powder, speed and freeride, or if you're near the top of your weight range.
  • Stiffer boards like the Graduate (9/10 flex) and Hybrid 2.0 (8/10) feel bigger underfoot. The softer Propaganda (6.5/10) is more forgiving if you're between sizes.

How it rides

The Propaganda is our most forgiving board, and it's the one we hand to riders who want to have fun everywhere without fighting their snowboard. It's built on a flat camber profile, so it stays loose and easy to pivot, but it still has real pop when you load the tail. And unlike reverse camber, it holds an edge instead of washing out when you lean into a turn on hardpack.

A true twin shape with a centered stance means it rides the same in both directions. That makes switch landings, buttering and spinning feel natural. A medium flex (6.5/10) is soft enough to press and play with but has enough backbone for jumps. It's a Transworld Good Wood award winner, and it's priced to be one of the best values in the line.

4 board order

I ordered the Propaganda, Propacamba, Hybrid 2.0, and Master Series, and I couldn’t be happier.

From start to finish, everything was seamless. Ordering online was completely smooth and straightforward—no hiccups, no confusion, just a clean, easy process.

What really stood out was how easy Academy was to work with when I had questions.

They were responsive, helpful, and genuinely made the whole experience feel personal and stress-free.

It’s rare to find a company that combines top-tier boards with such solid customer service.

These boards are pure quality, and I’m stoked to have them on the mountain under my feet.

If you’re looking for great snowboards and a company that actually cares about the customer experience, Academy is the real deal.

Been riding them for years and love them. Highly, highly recommend! 🏂🔥

Propaganda is good and cool!!

It's light and easy to ride. To be honest, I have no complaints. I wish they would increase the number of distributors in Japan.

Propaganda 154W

Haven’t been able to ride it yet, but the propaganda is the perfect amount of playful and snappy I’ve been looking for. I appreciate all the stickers too! The matte black is sleek

Cookies academy board

This board I got is a little longer than my old one not as wide but almost there. It’s a great board! Good for jibs and jumps it feels amazing. Carving and mainly pop could use a little work but for a flat board this rides amazing overall even in powder for a park board. Thanks academy they sent hella stickers too and wrote a thank you note. Thank you academy for the great board.

Very fun board!

Probably one of my favourite boards I’ve ridden yet! The waist width on the 152s/153s are 24.4 which only suit a bit smaller of a foot. Would love to see at least 24.8 so it suits size 9-10 boots better as that’s the most common boot size out there. Don’t know too many guys with size 7.5 to 8.5 feet is all 🤷‍♂️ but the board is unreal just would love if it was a bit wider to suit the masses!

Best Board Ever

This board is an all around beast, solid all over the mountain and destroys the park with easy maneuvering and the best POP around

The all round Jib machine!

The Propaganda is the all round Jib machine! It butters better than a tub of margarine and can hold an edge better than most flat profile boards.
It’s got tonnes of pop and it’ll last you all winter if not more!
I could talk till the cows come home about how good it is, but we all know snowboarders buy their boards on the graphic. This one ticks all boxes!
