How to choose the right pole size for skateboarding?
The choice of poles is very important in cross-country skiing. If it's too short or too long, you'll have great difficulty skiing properly.
For skating technique:
They must be large to maximize thrust
To calculate their size, there are two solutions:

or
Skating pole size = skier's height * 0.89
The size of the poles will also depend on the skier's physical qualities.
