No height rule
Where height isn't the gate
- Commercial / lifestyle
Commercial boards take a much wider range of heights. Heffner welcomes "ALL sizes".[1][5]
- Parts (hands, feet, legs)
Parts work is judged on hands, feet or legs, not height. Parts Models lists ages 18–50.[14]
- Promotional / brand ambassador
Promotional work has no published height rule; alcohol sampling is usually 21+.[26]
- UGC creator
UGC platforms such as Billo state no height rule: 18+ and "no professional experience" required.[27]
