buying a board… wide or not

[ride011]

headed out West for 20 days!!!  😀 in February (excited!) and decided to buy instead of pumping the money in demo boardsI'm down between the Ride Havoc 2008 and Ride Decade 2008 in 162cmthe Decade only comes “wide” with a waist of 26.3cm while the Havoc is at 25.2cmmy boots are 10.5 and my stance is 20.5 and my angles are 15 R, -5 LI think I'm leaning toward the Havoc but concerned about toe and heel draganyone familiar with these two boards? and can comment? I know we're talking 9mm difference and I'm thinking my angles are enough to eliminate the drag but I want to be sure – thanks much in advance and let it continue to dump out West!!  😀

I would go with the havoc.  Too wide is no fun.  Out west is softer snow anyways, so you can feel possible toe/heel drag and back off if needed before crashing.  A boot that is designed to minimize drag is really helpful too.
