Board too wide or what?

[ouello]

Brother in law has given me is old Burton Floater 58 with boots and all… He's 6' tall, 185 pounds and size 13 boots.  I'm 5'8″, 170 pounds and size 9 1/2…  The board is like 26 1/2 wide and goes under my nose…  Should I at least try it out, or I'll burn myself!  It's free and I haven't ride in 15 years…

The whole point in going out is to have fun — especially after so many years.  The floater is too wide bro.  Trade in the floater for a board under 25.5 cm waist width.  It will be worth it.  Width is more important than length.  I am 9.5 and prefer a 24.8 waist width.
