Im about 5'9, weighing about 175. My shoe/boot size is about 12.5 to 13ish. At one point I thought buying a 156W was ok from what I heard, but I looked at a sizing chart that was pretty broad. It said anything with a show size about 10.5 should wear 26cm or more
at 12.5/13, i don't i can avoid it. Would you say the Forum Recon at 156W would still be a safe buy then? How precise do I need to be with these measurements, its my first board.
but it told me about 157-159 with the WW between 259-265 mm. One of the available sizes was the forum at 158W, but it's ww is 258mm, will the much off still cause drag or should I keep shopping? It's important to know since the only ones left are second boards (meaning the weird knicks and dents or whatever happens when they manufacture it and slightly damage the graphic design)
Also if I adjust the calc to say Im a size 12 boot, it changes my WW range to 255mm-261 suggesting 258
i ride a wide with 10.5s, i dont see myself ever getting a regular width board as im much more comfortable on at the least a mid wide. length is mainly personal preference mixed with what your riding style is. my park board is a 152w, and i also haev a 154MW that i use on days where im not goin in the park or pow is out.
Im about 180 and ride 155's all day long. I even had a 152 WWW last season
Its completely personal preference and skill,
Ive had fun on a 172 before... we cant tell you your exact size, you have to try some things out and figure it out.
