I bought an atomic hatchet 162cm. Here's the specs page on it.
http://www.atomicsnowboarding.com/specs.phpIt seems to be an average width compared to the other boards on the page. I'm definately a novice at the sport right now, I can barely link my turns. I bought the board based on the length, but from what I've read, the rule is, the longer the board – the faster to ride, the shorter the board – the better to turn with. I want to eventually be more of a park rider, I tend to have more fun swapping stances while riding, or at least attemping to. I know that park riders ride shorter boards for the turning ability, but I have big-ass feet so where does that leave me? I haven't ridden this board yet so I may sell it on ebay or something if it turns out to be wrong for what I'm trying to do, but I'm just too ignorant to know the differe
