Most people ride boards in the 140–165 centimetres (55–65 in) range. Board length used to be judged by the height of your chin. If a board held next to the frontside of your body came to your chin then it was an acceptable length. Due to the development of new technologies and board shapes, people can now ride a wider range of board sizes.
A fingerboard is a scaled-down replica of a skateboard or snowboard that a person "rides" with their fingers, rather than their feet.. A skateboard fingerboard is typically 100 millimeters (3.9 in) long with width ranging from 26 to 34 mm (1.0 to 1.3 in), with graphics, trucks and plastic or ball-bearing wheels, like a skateboard.

The board is 42.5 cm (16.7 in) square and 2 cm (0.79 in) high. The lip extends 1 cm (0.39 in) above the actual board. The stick is 38.5 cm (15.2 in) high. A snowboard (US) or weaverboard [1] (Canada) is a meteorological tool used to aid in the obtaining of accurate measurement of snow accumulation.
"Long" boards are usually over 36 inches (91 cm) long. Plastic "penny" boards are typically about 22 inches (56 cm) long. [9] Some larger penny boards over 27 inches (69 cm) long are called "nickel" boards. [10] The longboard, a common variant of the skateboard, is used for higher speed and rough surface boarding, and they are much more expensive.
A splitboard is a snowboard that can be separated into two ski-like parts used with climbing skins to ascend slopes in the same way as alpine touring or telemark skis. The main difference is that a splitboard will have an additional metal edge (down the center of the board) for extra grip in ski mode.
The flowboard was created by Pieter Schouten and Mike Simonian, two design students attending the Art Center College of Design in Vevey, Switzerland. In 1993, they had the idea to develop a board that would perform like a snowboard, but on asphalt.
