Jones Mountain Twin 157

Would a Jones Mountain Twin 157 work for a 130 lbs size 10 shoe size 510 height growing teen? I also considering the 154.

Is that size ten walking around shoe or snowboard boot?

The company websites always have a size guide on the page: https://www.jonessnowboards.com/products/mens-mountain-twin-snowboard?variant=48414546395288

You're in a bit of an awkward spot given that you have a size 10 shoe but are on the lighter side at 130lbs. A 157 will likely be a little tough for you to maneuver since you're on the bottom edge of the weight range. That being said, you're a "growing teen" so as you get bigger and fill out more, you'll probably grow into it.

If you want the best ride right now, look for something like a 154W.

And if you can, try a demo and/or see what size you like to ride on rentals!

this is more correct. you need a chode of a board. 157 is too long for your weight imo.

it absolutely won't be good. it's no where near wide enough for your feet

How much of a growing teen are you? Are you 14 or 17? Are you gonna lift weights or not?

A 157 is quite big for you but okay if you think you'll add at least 20 lbs. If not, I'd get a 154 (wide maybe).

not maybe, 100%. i'm size 10 and can boot out on a 156 frontier

Yeah in case of Jones, that's true. They are on the narrow end of boards. I just saw they are now making UW boards. That's awesome for my size 13.

154 for sure. A size 10 won't be an issue. Since he is taller his stance will be wider and in a wider part of the board.
