Just wondering how many of you that use a Size 11 boot rides with a wide board? I know you can go either way. I am 5-11 190 lbs and use ThirtyTwo size 11 boots. Not sure which way to go. I am a beginner/intermediate, ride in Tahoe…Not good enough to do rails or anything, but looking for something to use for all around riding and possible exploring jumps and rails in the future. Thanks
It depends. I would say go for a regular snowboard, but try to get something on the higher side as far as the waist width on the snowboard goes. Like a mid-wide snowboardIf you go for a regular you might get heel drag on steep turns and stuff though. Its your call – I say mid wide
I have to agree on mid-wide as well. Size 11 boots are kind of in the “nice zone” ofbeing able to ride all 3, depending on your stance and riding style.Its kind of a nasty little formula when you factor stance in. By the books, I'd leanon mid-wide at the narrowest. That way you can ride narrow, or wide in your stanceand not have a big amount of toe/heel drag. Then again if you know you ride a widestance, you might be able to get away with riding a regular (over all board length willalso effect this). Best way to test this theory is, pick the board length that you want.If you've been riding long enough to link turns and enjoy riding, you probably have agood idea of your ideal board length, no matter what a size calculator tells you. Rentone from the rental shop and ride your natural stance. What really feels comfortable.If you feel your toes or heels drag
