front pointed to tip, back pointed to tail. makes it reasy to ride switch.

Yea I know thats what I want but I've never had my own board so I wasn't sure that is what you meant.

ya it will all come down to what you like. my friend rides with his back foot angled more than his front which is probably weird but it doesn't matter, he finds it comfortable.

Well I rode a board that was set up for a regular rider last year and I'm goofy so I think anything set up decently right will feel great.

I know this is from a few days ago but I have one more question. I noticed that the Rome Reverb Rocker 151 is recommended for up to size 9 boots, so will 9.5 really be to big and will large bindings be fine?

I doubt a large binding will fit very well but you could check what the manufacturer says the size range is. I think the boot will move around or your straps wont tighten enough. What brand are your bindings?

I don't know on size of boot to board, i would guess it would be fine but you should check it out or wait for someone who knows let you know.

Well I am going to get the Rome 390 boss bindings and they say the large can take down to size 9 boots but I was wondering if the large are to big for the board. I want the large because for some reason they are like $40 cheaper.

The S/M 390 Bosses are going to be a much better fit with your boots than the L/XL ones.

EatMyTracers · 10-07-2012, 01:04 AM

Ok well I just found the s/m for the same price as the l/xl it just took awhile to find. So, 9.5 boots will work fine with the board even though it says you should only use up to 9?

Anyone? are size 9.5 boots really to big for the 151 rome reverb rocker??
