so im torn between the capita bsod or the jones mountain twin wide. heres the question. i need a wide board to support my size 13 boots. the BSOD dosnt come in a wide buuuuut the waist width is 25.90 and the jones wide is 26.0....that being said do you think i would experience toe drag on the capita board?
Ah good point i hadnt even considered that! ive got a pair of northwave boots at the moment which i feel have a realatively small footprint so i guess ill just have to try it out and hope for the best. sure hope it works because ive been eyeing the BSOD for 4-5 seasons now! haha
does the waist spec on the BSOD include the "death grip" contact point? I don't know how large exactly is the death grip contact point but I figure it could account for half a centimeter or so, meaning the true waist width of the board could be more like 255 or 254mm. If this is the case then it's not a "wide" because the entire running length of the board isn't spec'd as a wide, it's just this little bump in the waist.
IIRC they are measuring that with the death grip, inflating the width. Which is a bummer, because if the made the Totally FK'n Awesome in wide I'd be all over that.
yea i suppose i could give them a call tomorrow. i really appreciate all the feedback ill let you guys know as soon as i get an answer
