It's kinda hard for you since IMO a size 11 boot is right between a wide and regular width board. It is true for a wider board it is harder to carve. A larger foot size helps generate the leverage necessary to put a wider board on edge. Personally I would never want to ride a wide board since my boot size is 9 1/2 US. My friend though, he has a size 13 boot and wide boards are the way to go for him.Here is some help gaging of the board is the proper width (keep in mind that this is snowboarding and the word “proper” really doesn't belong, so let's just say … um… … reasonable).Take your boot strap it in to your binding (if you do not have bindings on the board, that's alright, just place it on the board, right where the boot would be if it were strapped in). Now turn the board so the base is facing you. – If y

Now turn the board so the base is facing you. – If you see a quarter inch to an inch of overhang on toe and heel side, you are good to go. – If you see less than a quarter inch or no boot at all chances are your board is too wide. (loss of leverage = bad)- If you see greater than an inch of overhang, your board might be to narrow. (chance of drag = bad)note: Most setups are done so that there is an equal amount of toeside and heelside overhang.I hope this helps you bro.
