So im thinking about getting a WWW Rocker. I just want a fun park snowboard basically. I am 5'7, weigh 150, have size 12 boots and was looking at a 152 http://WWW. For the 152, the waist width is 249(24.9). They also have it in a wide 153 where the waist width is 261 (26.1). I currently ride a snowboard that is 252(25.2) wide in a not completely wide stance and if i buy this snowboard, chances are it will be completely widened. I like to think that that will mean that I will get about the same overhang. I havent had any reall problems with my snowboard now as far as the boot catching ( I dont turn hard like that, too scared to slip out or s.t and bust my A$s on the ice around here).full stats Board Series Stance Set Back Waist Width Weight Range Sidecut Effective Edge Tip Width Tail Width Stance WidthWWW Wide 153 Rocker
This is a tough one Josh. I understand your dilemma. My advice would be to not go any narrower than your current board OR to go with a mid-wide instead of a full wide.
Well the one I have now is(or was) considered mid wide by burton. I cant find any rockers that are the same exact widthTechnically, its only a 3mm difference tho right? :)btw What do you think about rocker snowboards?
Well can we agree that what matters the most is the width of the board where your foot is positioned over it. That is where the force (weight + leverage = power) is transferred from the rider to the snowboard. But with all of the measurements and specifications that board manufacturers offer us, none of them include this specific width position measurement. Well, let's just figure it ourselves.First let's assign a name to this new measurement. I will just call it Mid-Width for now, but I would rather call it something else since that could be confused with the term “mid-wide” which we already know s a classification of overall snowboard build width not a specific point of measurement — but whatever, we can figure out that name thing later.On your current board with an effective edge of 118cm, your stance width of 22 inches (or 55.9cm) is almo
