It changes all the time. Mostly boards getting shorter (just like skis
have over the years). Mine is only about 10 years old so not much
change since then.

It *IS* maybe a bit long for my young grandkids right now until they
grow taller. I don't expect a visit in the next month or two so this
will be for them next winter.

Just something extra for them to play with next winter to see if they
even like the sport. If they do, then they can ask mom&dad for more
customized ones.
