hi im new here and new to snowboarding and i have a few questions
i was looking at a board and its waist size is 25.2 cm and my shoe size is like 11-11.5 and i weight like 200lbs. , do you think that my toes would be too far off the board oh and im still growing

Simply^Ride

well if you are sill growing I would not get it. But either way with a 11+ size foot you should get a wide board, you are just better off.

By the way what is your height and how long is this board?

im 6' 1 and the board is 165 but what size do you recommend? and it will be for more park

Simply^Ride

Hummm, I would say a purely freestyle board would be a 159 and if you plan a little freeride in it maybe a 161-164. Actually 25.2 mid width is good for you if your boots are 11 I am not sure about 11.5 but it might stil be ok. What board is it? it might actually work ok for you.

I know this is contradictory to my first post, but I researched a little and figured that mid with would be fine, a little wider would be better, but 255 is a good call.

Also depending how you set your stance you can avoid some drag

i was looking at the Rossignol District , would risers help? and im still growing so would it still be good if i grew like another couples inches or so?

Simply^Ride

How old are you?

Yes risers would help, but it's said that risers make you lose some control of the board. I would rather get myself a wide board than riser.

im 16 and do you think the board is good for me?

Simply^Ride

HUmmm, to be honest the 16 scares me , you still have a few years of growing and you are going at a fast rate. If you were not going to grow more I would say yes the board is fine for your (granted I know nothing about this board). But if you feel that might grow more then no. This is the thing as far as height and weight the board can take a few extra pounds and inches, but if your feet grow another inch then you would need to get risers.

I guess it comes down to what you think is right. It's sort of a pain in the ass, because you don't want to get a bigger board either specially for park, what if you don't grow more... then you're fucked.

But yeah like I said for the present stats the board should be fine. You have a little thinking to do.

Are you parents taller than you?

tuna20

not really me and my dad pretty close in height maybe 1/2 inch or so and my mom is shorter than me but for past 2 years i havent grown much maybe inch or so,

so you would recommend a wide board for me?

Simply^Ride

Damn kid you are intense .

I would say yes, but never make a decision on one opinion only. If I was you I would wait for input of other members. Weekends tend to be slow, you might get some more responses tomorrow and on.

Good luck with your purchase
