“However I didn't think about the width because I assumed with it being so long, the board had to be for people my height and therefore my size foot.”This is sometimes the case, but not always. It depends on the specific board model. Which board did you get? Yes, the important thing is how wide your board is at the point where your bindings are mounted on it in relation to the length of the sole of your boot. You pretty much want a little bit of overhang — equal on heelside and toe side; but the most common way for guaging is the plain old boot size relative to the board waist width.
