Board Finder
Welcome to the Board Finder! At Trapper, we’ve always focused on helping every rider find the perfect board for their style, terrain, and weight. As a small company, we value the one-on-one connection between you and the designer/builder—it’s something we hope you’ll appreciate as much as we do.
This page is designed to guide you through our application and size charts, giving you the tools to explore and select your ideal ride. All of our boards are made-to-order and custom-tuned for your weight, ensuring a truly personalized fit.
Application
Each Trapper board is designed to thrive in specific conditions and riding styles. Our application charts highlight where each model truly shines, so you can choose the board that matches your terrain of choice. Of course, you can take them outside these zones and still have a blast—but these charts point you to where you’ll have an exceptionally good time carving, floating, or charging down the mountain!

Sizing
Your weight is the primary force influencing a snowboard’s performance, so finding the right match is key. Three key factors are tied to weight:
- Flex: Affects turning, pop, and landings.
- Float: The board’s surface area and shape support your weight in powder.
- Edge Support: Determines control through edge contact.
Start with your weight (excluding gear). Each Trapper model includes a detailed chart that considers all design factors. Locate your weight on the chart to identify the ideal size for your ride.
Size Charts
1. Find your weight on each models chart
2. Add 5-10 lbs if any of these apply:
- Tall and lean
- Powerful rider
3. Subtract 5-10 lbs if:
- Beginner to early intermediate rider
Overlap
Some models are designed with intentional size overlap, offering flexibility for riders whose weight falls between multiple options. For example, a 165 lb rider could choose between 156W, 158, or 160. In most cases, the 158 would likely be the best fit, but preferences come into play:
Reasons to size up:
- prefer longer boards
- value on stability and speed
Reasons to size down:
- Enjoy short, more playful boards
- Prioritize maneuverability (eg: tight trees)
In this example the rider sizing down should opt for the 156 Wide vs 156 if if powder performance is desired.
While personal preference plays a role, we recommend sticking close to the suggested weight range for the best performance. If you’re far outside the range, contact us—we’re here to help!
